mac80211: start auth/assoc timeout on frame status
When sending authentication/association frames they might take a bit of time to go out because we may have to synchronise with the AP, in particular in the case where it's really a P2P GO. In this case the 200ms fixed timeout could potentially be too short if the beacon interval is relatively large. For drivers that report TX status we can do better. Instead of starting the timeout directly, start it only when the frame status arrives. Since then the frame was out on the air, we can wait shorter (the typical response time is supposed to be 30ms, wait 100ms.) Also, if the frame failed to be transmitted try again right away instead of waiting. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
