[PATCH v2] HE: Fix HE capability check for PPE threshold present

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Sven Eckelmann <seckelmann@xxxxxxxxx>

The the mask for PPE threshold present in the HE phy capability byte 6 is
0x80 and not 0x6. This incorrect mask breaks the length calculation and as
result the acceptance of the HE capabilities for STAs which either:

* don't have the PPE threshold present bit set AND the Codebook Size={7,5}
  MU Feedback or the Triggered SU Beamforming feedback bit set

* do have the PPE threshold present set AND neither the Codebook Size={7,5}
  MU Feedback nor the Triggered SU Beamforming feedback bit set

Fixes: 8f5fc369e263 ("HE: Fix HE Capabilities element variable length encoding")
