From: Mohammed Shafi Shajakhan <mohammed@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> We need to have the promiscus mode enabled for older chipset(ie 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 chipsets whose macversion <= AR9160 chipsets.

John, kindly drop this. Had resent the v2 with proper author name (Thomas) who suggested the change. -- thanks, shafi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
