Subject: [PATCH v2 1/3] wl12xx: fix Tx security sequence number handling
Date: Sun, 26 Jun 2011 10:36:02 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1309073764-24219-1-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com> (raw)
From: Oz Krakowski <ozk@ti.com>
Do not reset the security sequence number when issuing a join command or
interface is removed. Instead, reset the counter only during the unjoin
command.
Added the notion of counter wrap-around to the LSB number in
wl1271_tx_complete_packet.
Added post recovery padding to adjust for potential security number
progress during the recovery process by the firmware and avoid
potential interop issues in encrypted networks.

v1->2: fixed a bug where a wrap-around in the security seq LSB was
compensated incorrectly. We used 0xff (255) instead of 256.
