Subject: [PATCH 05/15] ath9k: Configure RX filter for multi-BSSID broadcast
Date: Tue, 03 Mar 2009 19:23:30 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090303172459.014230103@atheros.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090303172325.437810138@atheros.com

Allow RX filter to pass through all broadcast/multicast frames (i.e.,
no BSSID filtering) if virtual interfaces are used. Software filtering
will be used in this case to drop broadcast/multicast frames for
foreign BSSIDs.
