Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix monitor mode tx radiotap header handling
Date: Sun, 31 Jan 2010 21:56:25 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4B65EE79.5050000@openwrt.org> (raw)
When an injected frame gets buffered for a powersave STA or filtered
and retransmitted, mac80211 attempts to parse the radiotap header
again, which doesn't work because it's gone at that point.
This patch adds a new flag for checking the availability of a radiotap
header, so that it only attempts to parse it once, reusing the tx info
on the next call to ieee80211_tx().
This fixes severe issues with rekeying in AP mode.
