Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: unconditionally set IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2009 12:19:21 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1256815161.3865.106.camel@johannes.local> (raw)
When mac80211 is asked to buffer multicast frames
in AP mode, it will not set the flag indicating
that the frames should be sent after the DTIM
beacon for those frames buffered in software. Fix
this little inconsistency by always setting that
flag in the buffering code path.
Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
---
Drivers still need to know since they usually have to put such frames
onto a separate queue...
