[PATCH] mac80211: disable BSSID filtering for mesh interfaces

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

 



Mesh interfaces are currently opened with the FIF_ALLMULTI rx filter flag set,
however there is no BSSID in mesh so BSSID filtering should be disabled by
setting the FIF_OTHER_BSS flag as well.  Also explicitly call 
ieee80211_configure_filter for mesh.
