[PATCH 02/12] wifi: mwifiex: fix MAC address handling

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

 



The mwifiex driver tries to derive the MAC addresses of the virtual
interfaces from the permanent address by adding the bss_num of the
particular interface used. It does so each time the virtual interface
is changed from AP to station or the other way round. This means that
the devices MAC address changes during a change_virtual_intf call which
is pretty unexpected by userspace.

Furthermore the driver doesn't use the permanent address to add the
bss_num to, but instead the current MAC address increases each time
we do a change_virtual_intf.

Fix this by initializing the MAC address once from the permanent MAC
address during creation of the virtual interface and never touch it
again. This also means that userspace can set a different MAC address
which then stays like this forever and is not unexpectedly changed
by the driver.

It is not clear how many (if any) MAC addresses after the permanent MAC
address are reserved for a device, so set the locally admistered
bit for all MAC addresses modified from the permanent address.
