Description
A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. When a hardware reset is triggered, all registers are reset, so all queues are forced to stop in the hardware interface. However, mac80211 will not automatically stop the queue. If the beacon queue is not manually stopped, it will be deadlocked and unable to restart.
