[PATCH 1/5] wil6210: fix privacy flag calculation in change_beacon

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

 



From: Lior David <liord@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently the privacy flag calculation in change_beacon
checks for RSN IE inside proberesp_ies, but normally it
is not found there. It works today because of code inside
the function wil_fix_bcon, but wil_fix_bcon is not directly
related to change_beacon, and it may be changed or removed
in the future and break the calculation.
To fix this issue, change the privacy flag calculation
to check RSN IE inside the beacon itself. The new check is more
reliable and will not be sensitive to changes in wil_fix_bcon.
