Well, so it seems this is caused by the driver honoring the filter flag for beacons. b43 and b43legacy do this, too. So they most likely have the same misbehaviour. In the end, I'd still call this a mac80211 bug. Why does mac80211 suppress beacons (by clearing the flag), if it needs them? -- Greetings Michael. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
