[PATCH 2/4] mac80211: drop 4-addr VLAN frames earlier if not connected

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

If there's no station on the 4-addr VLAN interface, then frames
cannot be transmitted. Drop such frames earlier, before setting
up all the information for them.

We should keep the old check though since that code might be used
for other internally-generated frames.
