    orinoco: fix TKIP countermeasure behaviour · 0a54917c
    David Kilroy authored
    Enable the port when disabling countermeasures, and disable it on
    enabling countermeasures.
    
    This bug causes the response of the system to certain attacks to be
    ineffective.
    
    It also prevents wpa_supplicant from getting scan results, as
    wpa_supplicant disables countermeasures on startup - preventing the
    hardware from scanning.
    
    wpa_supplicant works with ap_mode=2 despite this bug because the commit
    handler re-enables the port.
    
    The log tends to look like:
    
    State: DISCONNECTED -> SCANNING
    Starting AP scan for wildcard SSID
    Scan requested (ret=0) - scan timeout 5 seconds
    EAPOL: disable timer tick
    EAPOL: Supplicant port status: Unauthorized
    Scan timeout - try to get results
    Failed to get scan results
    Failed to get scan results - try scanning again
    Setting scan request: 1 sec 0 usec
    Starting AP scan for wildcard SSID
    Scan requested (ret=-1) - scan timeout 5 seconds
    Failed to initiate AP scan.
