Does this patch cause problems for your userspace implementation?
Yes, because I coded with the assumptions that the radio addr had nothing
to do with the vif addr.
I see -- but looking back at wmediumd history (before I had anything to
do with it) it seems it always had the opposite assumption -- e.g. the
ATTR_ADDR_TRANSMITTER mac address was compared against addresses in the
frame for delivery decisions.
Even so, I think it is more important to keep the kernel API stable than
to work around issues in relatively obscure user-space apps.
There could of course be more than just my app and wmediumd that uses
the kernel API....
Thanks,
Ben
