[RESEND PATCH 15/16] wcn36xx: don't pad beacons for mesh

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

 



From: Jason Mobarak <jam@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Patch "wcn36xx: Pad TIM PVM if needed" has caused a regression in mesh
beaconing.  The field tim_off is always 0 for mesh mode, and thus
pvm_len (referring to the TIM length field) and pad are both incorrectly
calculated.  Thus, msg_body.beacon_length is incorrectly calculated for
mesh mode. Fix this.
