[PATCH v2 4/4] auto-t: add test for channel switch during roam

James Prestwood <[email protected]> Mon, 18 Aug 2025 07:30:41 -0700
Newsgroups dev.linux.lists.iwd
Message-ID <[email protected]>
In kernel 6.8 a new CMD_ASSOCIATE failure path was added which checks
if the AP has a channel switch in progress. Eariler patches update
IWD into handling this case better, and this new test exercises that.
