Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: disable BSSID filtering for mesh interfaces
Date: Fri, 31 Oct 2008 14:50:12 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <490b7d94.18038e0a.6666.ffff8d72@mx.google.com> (raw)

Mesh interfaces are currently opened with the FIF_ALLMULTI rx filter flag set,
however there is no BSSID in mesh so BSSID filtering should be disabled by
setting the FIF_OTHER_BSS flag as well.  Also explicitly call 
ieee80211_configure_filter for mesh.
