[PATCH] mac80211: don't WARN on bad WMM parameters from buggy APs

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

 



Apparently, some APs are buggy enough to send a zeroed
WMM IE. Don't WARN on this since this is not caused by a bug
on the client's system.

This aligns the condition of the WARNING in drv_conf_tx
with the validity check in ieee80211_sta_wmm_params.
We will now pick the default values whenever we get
a zeroed WMM IE.

This has been reported here:
