Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix broadcast frame handling for 4-addr AP VLANs
Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2009 13:17:36 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4AFAAB60.7070002@openwrt.org> (raw)
Without this patch, broadcast frames from the station behind a
4-addr AP VLAN would be reflected back to the source.
Fix this by checking the 4-addr flag before bridging multicast
frames in the cell.

I hadn't noticed that v2 of my mac80211 4-addr patch had been
merged already, so here's the fix from v3 as a separate patch
