Summary0000880: wireless deauthentication traps cause more problems than they solve
DescriptionOften a deauth trap close a locationlog entry prematurely. For exemple, we have mac-auth on radius, we open a locationlog and put the user in the registration vlan. Then for some reason a dot11Deauth trap is received on the packetfence server. Things like a laptop that went to sleep, etc. would cause such a trap to be sent from the controller. On receiving such a trap, pf closes the last open locationlog entry for the mac. Then, when the user registers, we try to flip him but we find no open locationlog entry and bail right there.

We listen to those traps only to close locationlog entries so if we stop listening to them, we will avoid such problematic situations.
