    mac80211: ignore HT primary channel while connected · 5cdaed1e

    While we're connected, the AP shouldn't change the primary channel
    in the HT information. We checked this, and dropped the connection
    if it did change it.
    
    Unfortunately, this is causing problems on some APs, e.g. on the
    Netgear WRT610NL: the beacons seem to always contain a bad channel
    and if we made a connection using a probe response (correct data)
    we drop the connection immediately and can basically not connect
    properly at all.
    
    Work around this by ignoring the HT primary channel information in
    beacons if we're already connected.
    
    Also print out more verbose messages in the other situations to
    help diagnose similar bugs quicker in the future.
