[PATCH] mac80211: mesh STAs only process mesh beacons

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

 



Before, a mesh STA would execute some code on behalf of AP or IBSS
beacons. Since the mesh stack currently does not consider anything but
other mesh STAs interesting, limit processing to just these and save a
little overhead.
