Subject: [PATCH] ath9k: Add support FIF_OTHER_BSS filtering mode.
Date: Thu, 20 Aug 2009 19:12:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1250820727-16729-1-git-send-email-javier@cozybit.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <>

Support for FIF_OTHER_BSS was missing.  This patch adds support for this
filtering mode which in turn resolves a problem where mesh interfaces would not
receive broadcast traffic.
