Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: use correct address for mesh Path Error
Date: Mon, 13 Jul 2009 17:00:10 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1247529610-21854-1-git-send-email-andrey@cozybit.com> (raw)
From: Javier Cardona <javier@cozybit.com>
For forwarded frames, we save the precursor address in addr1 in case it
needs to be used to send a Path Error. mesh_path_discard_frame,
however, was using addr2 instead of addr1 to send Path Error frames, so
correct that and also make the comment regarding this more clear.
