[PATCH] mac80211: Fix scan_ies_len to include DS Params

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

 



Commit 651b52254fc061f02d965524e71de4333a009a5a added DS Parameter Set
information into Probe Request frames that are transmitted on 2.4 GHz
band, but it failed to increment local->scan_ies_len to cover this new
information. This variable needs to be updated to match the maximum IE
data length so that the extra buffer need gets reduced from the driver
limit.
