Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: do not alter injected seq numbers
Date: Tue, 08 Apr 2008 02:11:21 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <47FAB829.9010304@latinsud.com> (raw)

When injecting frames we should allow user to play with fields like
fragment or sequence numbers. This patch prevents mac80211 from modifying
those fields on injected frames.

Tested on 2.6.24.4 with aireplay-ng.

Signed-off-by: Alejandro Grijalba <sud@latinsud.com>

There is still a problem with some drivers (b43) that also modify seq numbers, 
and i cannot find there a clean way to tell whether the frame was injected.
An alternative way would be to create a radiotap flag meaning not to modify header.
