[PATCH 14/15] mac80211: ignore frames between TDLS peers when operating as AP

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

 



If the AP receives actions frames destined for other peers, it may
mistakenly toggle BA-sessions from itself to a peer.
Ignore TDLS data packets as well - the AP should not handle them.
