Subject: [PATCH] mac80211 : fix a race with update_tkip_key
Date: Sun, 7 Jun 2009 21:49:02 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <83a869cd0906071449u4ae8832bu168322ae4a7cd2a3@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

The mac80211 tkip code won't call update_tkip_key, if some rx packets
get received without KEY_FLAG_UPLOADED_TO_HARDWARE. This can happen on
first packet because the hardware key stuff is called asynchronously with 
todo workqueue.

This patch workaround that by always calling update_tkip_key if
the packet wasn't decrypted by the hardware.
