hostapd: revert upstream commit to fix #13156
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Commit e978072baaca ("Do prune_association only after the STA is
authorized") causes issues when an STA roams from one interface to
another interface on the same PHY. The mt7915 driver is not able to
handle this properly. While the commits fixes a DoS, there are other
devices and drivers with the same limitation, so revert to the orginal
behavior for now, until we have a better solution in place.

Fixes: #13156

Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Do prune_association only after the STA is

another interface on the same PHY. The mt7915 driver is not able to
handle this properly. While the commits fixes a DoS, there are other

behavior for now, until we have a better solution in place.
