[PATCH 1/5] ath5k: fix injection in monitor mode

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

 



injected frames have to use AR5K_PKT_TYPE_NORMAL, otherwise the hardware thinks
it can mess with the contents of the frame - e.g. update the TSF of an injected
beacon. injected frames should be sent as they are provided.
