[RFC] iwl4965: proper monitor support

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

 



This patch changes the iwl4965 driver to properly support monitoring
after the filter flags change. I stayed with the "pull little endian
values through" style for now.

Somebody needs to port this to iwl3945.

There are also a few things that I'm unclear about and where I inserted
long comments in the code. One thing affects the antenna field, and the
other affects HT frame reception that I've been unable to test so far
(my HT AP hasn't arrived yet)
