[PATCH 3/3] mac80211: do not transmit frames on unconfigured 4-addr vlan interfaces

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

 



If frames are transmitted on 4-addr ap vlan interfaces with no station,
they end up being transmitted unencrypted, even if the ap interface
uses WPA. This patch add some sanity checking to make sure that this
does not happen.
