Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: drop non-auth 3-addr data frames when running as a 4-addr station
Date: Sat, 15 Jan 2011 14:38:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1295098708-99081-1-git-send-email-nbd@openwrt.org> (raw)

When running as a 4-addr station against an AP that has the 4-addr VLAN
interface and the main 3-addr AP interface bridged together, sometimes
frames originating from the station were looping back from the 3-addr AP
interface, causing the bridge code to emit warnings about receiving frames
with its own source address.
I'm not sure why this is happening yet, but I think it's a good idea to
drop all frames (except 802.1x/EAP frames) that do not match the configured
addressing mode, including 4-address frames sent to a 3-address station.
User test reports indicate that the problem goes away with this patch.
