Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Don't encrypt beacons
Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 20:40:35 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200805052040.35511.IvDoorn@gmail.com> (raw)
mac80211 should set the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DO_NOT_ENCRYPT flag in tx_control
structure to inform drivers not to encrypt the beacon. Drivers that only check
for that flag before accessing the hw_key field, will otherwise cause a NULL
pointer dereference since that field is not configured for beacons.
