From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Feb 15 2011 - 19:19:55 EST


2.6.37-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanoharan@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 1186488b4a4d4871e40cb1604ba3ede3d4b7cc90 upstream.

Restart the beacon timers only if the beacon
was already configured. Otherwise beacons timers
are restarted unnecessarily in unassociated state too.
