[RFC 0/5] Fix mac addr enforcement on monitor interfaces

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

 



From: Jakub Kicinski <kubakici@xxxxx>

It's still possible for users to hurt themselves 
by setting incompatible mac addresses on hardware
that needs conformance to addr_mask. This series
aims to fix that and improve address assignment to
active monitors.

Unfortunately there is a merge conflict in mac80211.git
and mac80211-next.git between:

ac20976dca mac80211: Allow single vif mac address change with addr_mask
and
31eba5bc56 mac80211: support active monitor interfaces

so I got confused and based the series on
wireless-testing.git. Is this acceptable?

Jakub Kicinski (5):
  mac80211: introduce __ieee80211_assign_perm_addr
  mac80211: return new mac address as soon as possible
  mac80211: always default to address compatible with mask
  mac80211: enforce address verification on monitors
  mac80211: assign right mac addr to active monitors
