From: Thomas Wagner <Thomas.Wagner@xxxxxxxx> We need to have the promiscus mode enabled for older chipsets(i.e, rule out many frames being filtered in the hardware itself) if 'FIF_OTHER_BSS' flag is set, when we start the mesh mode. Fix this by enabling promiscus mode for all the chipsets whose macversion <= AR9160 chipsets. This should fix https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45591 shafi: made the fix generic by having the frame filtering disabled for chipsets older than AR9280.
