DAWN would block the wifi if kick a client failed #251

@qiang-yu

Description

@qiang-yu

Version :
DAWN version dawn - 2023-05-14-e036905a-1 (i tried dawn -v, dawn -h , dawn --verison there is no way to print version of dawn, so i have to give the opkg version 2023-05-14-e036905a-1)

Issue

DAWN try to kick a client, but it seems the kick failed, and it would keep to kick and kick and kick ... again

During this kick, Wifi would be blocked, and i can not surf internet. Wifi is OK, Signal is Good, but i can not surf internet.

Manually Fix

Manually Fix it by going to OpenWrt Web Luci --> Wifi , find the the client, and disconnect it manually. After the disconnect, i can surf the internet immediately (just kick the client in luci, no need to restart dawn, no need to restart openwrt)

It seems it is the problem of dawn which block wifi when kick a client failed

Please Help to fix this issue, thanks

Here is the log from OpenWrt
