Network association followed by supplicant TDLS error

[netizeno]

After the router tries to associate a hardware address to my device (I believe that is what is happening) I see the following error exactly every three minutes, whether or not i'm using the internet. It also doesn't happen on other networks. I'm using NM with wpa_supplicant backend. I tried debugging relevant components and running tcpdump to see if there was an obvious pattern causing the following but couldn't find one.

localhost kernel: wpa_supplicant[pid]: TDLS: Invalid frame - payloadtype=1 category=203 action=56

I believe the wifi is working fine but i don't knowingly use or intend to use TDLS. Can you explain to me what is going on here and how to disable it?

edit - This also happens periodically. Maybe the type of connection is relevant.
RTW: recv eapol packet - WPA Group Key 1/2
RTW: set group key camid:2, addr:00:11:bb:33:d9:66, kid:2, type:TKIP
RTW: send eapol packet - WPA Group Key 2/2

edit - also this
RTW: WARN cfg80211_rtw_scan : scan abort!! BusyTraffic

Hi @netizeno

In the driver folder, open the file Makefile in a test editor and look for the following line:

CONFIG_TDLS = y

Change it to the following and save:

CONFIG_TDLS = n

Run:

$ sudo sh install-driver.sh

Let me know.

Yes it worked. sudo iw list shows that it is not TDLS capable and i do not get the invalid frame error anymore. Thank you.

You are welcome. I did some research and based on nobody asking for this capability, I pushed a commit to make the default as TDLS off. Thanks for the report.
