[PATCH 6/6] ath5k: don't enable probe request rx for STAs

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

 



AR5K_RX_FILTER_PROBEREQ enables reception of probe requests,
but the filter flag FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC is actually about
receiving beacons and probe _responses_, so we shouldn't
turn on the filter when scanning.
