The algorithm is buggy in this regard as they have seen in their testing and packet traces. If you have a better place for this check I am pretty sure they would be happy to test it and come back to you if it fixes their issue. If we find no better place I will just use this patch and move forward to have at least the practical issue fixed. regards Stefan Schmidt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wpan" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
