[PATCH] wifi: mac80211: fix vif addr when switching from monitor to station

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

 



Since adding support for opting out of virtual monitor support, a zero vif
addr was used to indicate passive vs active monitor to the driver.
This would break the vif->addr when changing the netdev mac address before
switching the interface from monitor to sta mode.
Fix the regression by adding a separate flag to indicate whether vif->addr
is valid.
