Fixing random disconnect issue #199

Closed labrat97 closed 1 year ago

labrat97 commented 1 year ago

It looks like re-scans but it isn't, it's WPS being left on and forcibly changing the transmission type and maybe crashing the beam-forming interface. This is a huge security issue and should probably be fixed immediately. It can be configured with rtw_hw_wps_pbc= either 0 for off or 1 for on.

As a side note, all current drivers for the Archer T4U Plus device do this wrong to different levels. Last night, the radio was so far away from a proper state (on a set of drivers for the rtl8812au, which is a bit worse here) that it changed a strip of ceiling lights that are just white to an animated mode. The remote for these broke a long time ago so it's quite impressive how wrong the 2.4 GHz signal came out here.

This fixes the issue here.
