[PATCH] b43: include FCS in frames handed to mac80211

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Sometimes it can be useful to see the FCS, especially when
bad-FCS frames are shown. Pass the FCS to mac80211 and let
it worry about snipping it off when required.
