[PATCH 08/12] wil6210: fix for broadcast workaround in PBSS

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

 



From: Lior David <qca_liord@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently we do not have full support for broadcast from
a station inside a PBSS network.
We have a workaround where instead of broadcast we do a
unicast to every known station in the PBSS.
This workaround was performed only for P2P clients.
This fix will perform the broadcast workaround also for a
regular station inside a PBSS.
