[PATCH] mac80211: Don't inspect Sequence Control field on control frames

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

 



Per IEEE Std. 802.11-2012, Sec 8.2.4.4.1, the sequence Control field is
not present in control frames.  We noticed this problem when processing
Block Ack Requests.
