[PATCH 14/16] wl1251: Send null data packet with "TODS" bit set

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

 



From: Vidhya Govindan <vidhya.govindan@xxxxxxxxx>

According to IEEE80211 standard all the data packets have to be sent with
TODS bit set. This patch fixes the null data packet format which was sent
without TODS bit set. This should fix many problems associated with
power save. Janne Ylalehto also found this fix in the same time as mine,
for a different bug he was working on.
