[PATCH 2/6] mac80211: add radiotap flag to prevent sequence number overwrite

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

 



The radiotap specification contains a flag to indicate that the sequence
number of an injected frame should not be overwritten. Parse this flag
and define and set a corresponding Tx control flag.
