After this bug has been reported, I have been contact by the firmware team who wanted to deprecate the flag that we change in the bug for that Bugzilla, so that the fix will be a no-op for newer firmware. Bottom line, we are removing this print, or we are leaving it only for unicast packets. This has been merged in our internal repository and it will be upstreamed following the regular process. You can find it here in our backport based driver: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git/commit/?id=f9b9f92dd84c5c467cbcc620584864de8fbfb56c > > I'll try to collect some debug data soon.
