Subject: Invalid BSSID handling?
Date: Sat, 03 Jan 2009 01:00:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090103000028.302750@gmx.net> (raw)
Hello,
what BSSID addresses should be treaded as invalid, by manual setting? H=
andling in mac80211 now is really magic. Multicast MAC addresses are ac=
cepted but the IEEE80211_STA_BSSID_SET flag isn't set, so that they are=
handled as if they are automatically detected and selected.
The madwifi accepts all BSSIDs except 00:00:00:00:00:00 and ff:ff:ff:ff=
:ff:ff. Should mac80211 allow all BSSIDs like madwifi, or should it bet=
ter treat multicast MAC addresses as 00:00:00:00:00:00, or an other han=
dling?
Regards
Alina
