[PATCH] mac80211: get STA after tx radiotap snipped

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

 



Johannes Berg noticed that in __ieee80211_tx_prepare() we try to get the
STA from addr1 of the ieee80211 header when the radiotap header is actually
still at the front of the packet.  This patch defers doing that until the
radiotap header is gone.
