[PATCH] ath9k: Add support FIF_OTHER_BSS filtering mode.

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

 



Support for FIF_OTHER_BSS was missing.  This patch adds support for this
filtering mode which in turn resolves a problem where mesh interfaces would not
receive broadcast traffic.
