Invalid BSSID handling?

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

 



Hello,

what BSSID addresses should be treaded as invalid, by manual setting? Handling in mac80211 now is really magic. Multicast MAC addresses are accepted but the IEEE80211_STA_BSSID_SET flag isn't set, so that they are handled as if they are automatically detected and selected.

The madwifi accepts all BSSIDs except 00:00:00:00:00:00 and ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff. Should mac80211 allow all BSSIDs like madwifi, or should it better treat multicast MAC addresses as 00:00:00:00:00:00, or an other handling?

Regards
Alina
