What is the use case that justifies this type of extra complexity to be added into the driver? Please note that there are no guarantees that all hardware revisions behave the same as far as undocumented functionality is concerned. The only clear case when padding is required is data frames with non-empty frame body. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA -- 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
