mac80211: force off channel transmission for public action frames
Currently while associated to an AP and sending a (public) action frame to a different AP on the same channel, the action frame will be sent like a regular tx frame without going off channel. When power save is enabled this can cause problems, since the device can go into power save and miss the response to the action frame that is sent by the other AP. Force off-channel transmission to avoid this issue in case - HW offchannel is used, - the user didn't forbid transmitting frames off channel - the frame is not sent to the AP that we are associated with (if it is we assume the response would be bufferable) Signed-off-by: NMatti Gottlieb <matti.gottlieb@intel.com> Signed-off-by: NEmmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@intel.com> [reword commit message a bit] Signed-off-by: NJohannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
