Subject: [PATCHv2 1/1] mac80211: Rewrote code for checking if destinations are proxied.
Date: Mon, 10 Jan 2011 00:44:23 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4D2AAAC7.6000608@gmail.com> (raw)
Rewrote code for checking if the destination is proxied by a mesh portal, to facilitate better
understanding of the functionality.

These changes are incremental to the patch "mac80211: Fix mesh portal communication with other mesh nodes"
which was merged into wireless-testing (commit f76b57b47e5fd423f9827c7b0ba7bbd06cca6b9b).
Resending the patch as v2 because Thunderbird managed to mess up the formatting yet again.
