[PATCH] mac80211: Allow single vif mac address change with addr_mask

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

 



When changing the MAC address of a single vif mac80211 will check if the new
address fits into the address mask specified by the driver. This only needs
to be done when using multiple BSSIDs. Hence, check the new address only
against all other vifs.
