Since\nmac80211 doesn't distinguish these cases and simply calls the\ndriver to suspend whenever WoWLAN is configured, the driver has\nto cleanly handle the case where it's called for WoWLAN, it's\nnot connected but there's also no netdetect configured.\n\nRemove the WARN_ON() and keep returning 1 to disconnect and\nthen suspend.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `Linux >= 1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2 < d4158bc784f4b45c8daa446a8e1c29eb11f63674`\n- `Linux >= 1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2 < 301b0dfa9db3f1e204de95e803bbd88fbd878c7c`\n- `Linux < 6.18.53`\n- `Linux (all versions)`\n\n## Remediation\n\nRefer to the linked advisories for vendor-supplied fixes and affected version ranges.","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":3,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":2.8,"likelihood":0,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
