[PATCHv5 2/2] mac80211: fix A-MSDU outer SA/DA

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

 



According to IEEE 802.11-2012 section 8.3.2 table 8-19, the outer SA/DA
of A-MSDU frames need to be changed depending on FromDS/ToDS values.

v5:
 - single out amsdu_hdr to ptr conversion before
v4:
 - h_80211_src/dst has been memmove'd and thus needs to be fixed
v3:
 - write to outer 802.11 header instead of inner amsdu subframe header
v2:
 - avoid the extra write to amsdu_hdr
 - avoid copy of asmdu_hdr into skb, use ptr instead
