Subject: [PATCH 1/5] ath5k: fix injection in monitor mode
Date: Mon, 01 Mar 2010 20:59:03 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100301115903.13996.95024.stgit@void> (raw)
injected frames have to use AR5K_PKT_TYPE_NORMAL, otherwise the hardware thinks
it can mess with the contents of the frame - e.g. update the TSF of an injected
beacon. injected frames should be sent as they are provided.
