Dear colleagues, I've discovered that a rt73 usb wi-fi stick in the AP mode doesn't receive PS Poll frames from a station. The station sends a PS Poll frame, but the mac80211 stack doesn't see it. More details can be found here: http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5486&start=10, issue #1. I've found that the FIF_CONTROL flag isn't passed to the rt2x00's configure_filter function (namely rt2x00mac_configure_filter) by the mac80211 stack even if the device is configured as an access point. So, the hardware is configured by the driver to filter out control frames according to the flags given. And here is my question: what would be the correct behaviour? A) The mac80211 stack should pass the FIF_CONTROL flag to the driver when the device is configured in the AP mode. B) The driver should configure the hardware to receive PS Poll frames by itself when the device is configured in the AP mode, even if the FIF_CONTROL flag isn't passed by the mac80211 stack.
