Hi, commit 576eb62598f10c8c7fd75703fe89010cdcfff596 Author: stephen hemminger <shemminger@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri Dec 28 18:15:22 2012 +0000 bridge: respect RFC2863 operational state This commit breaks putting a mac80211 4-address client mode interface in a bridge and using it with WPA encryption. wpa_supplicant has to receive EAP frames for authentication from the bridge interface, since the rx handler hook steals them from the wireless interface. However, it also keeps the interface operstate to IF_OPER_DORMANT for as long as the WPA handshake is incomplete, which causes the bridge code to drop EAP packets. In the long run, I'd like to sort out this mess by passing EAP frames to userspace via nl80211 - but since that will require userspace changes, what do we do about this issue in the mean time? - Felix -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
