Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Account HT Control field in Data frame hdrlen according to 802.11n-2009
Date: Wed, 20 Jan 2010 13:55:06 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B56EF1A.4050503@ukr.net> (raw)

ieee80211_hdrlen() should account account new HT Control field in 802.11
data frame header introduced by IEEE 802.11n standard.

According to 802.11n-2009 HT Control field is present in data frames
when both of following are met:

   1. It is QoS data frame.
   2. Order bit is set in Frame Control field.

The change might be totally compatible with legacy non-11n aware frames,
because 802.11-2007 standard states that "all QoS STAs set this subfield
to 0".

Prev. patch may be ignored since its format was invalid - it extended
tabs to spaces (copy/paste from PuTTY issue). Hope this one will be
better. Sorry for inconvenience.
