Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Fix dropping broadcast packets in 802.11 encap
Date: Tue, 9 Jun 2020 15:45:54 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1591697754-4975-1-git-send-email-seevalam@codeaurora.org> (raw)
Broadcast pkts like arp are getting dropped in 'ieee80211_8023_xmit'.
Fix this by replacing is_valid_ether_addr api with is_zero_ether_addr.
Fixes: 50ff477a8639 ("mac80211: add 802.11 encapsulation offloading support")
