Let me recap a bit. Artem is using connman, which sets up the wifi interface as part of a bridge. It runs wpa_supplicant to create an AP (only AP and mesh mode interfaces can be bridged anyway). Eric, you said: > I would say some part of the stack assumes a header (I dont know wich > one ?) is pulled in skb->head/data, and thats a bug. > > Always use pskb_may_pull(skb, XXX) to make sure you can access XXX > bytes in skb->data I thought we'd figure out which part of the stack assumes a header, so I asked Artem to test a one-line patch which adds "skb_linearize()" before "netif_receive_skb()" in mac80211. This makes it work, but I'm not sure where after that the bad assumption might be. johannes -- 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
