Subject: Help with encrypting PMF management frames
Date: Thu, 6 Jun 2019 09:54:28 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <fe571fe9-d5e5-38b8-5afa-2ba4fbb51f67@candelatech.com> (raw)

Hello,

My variant of ath10k uses the normal 'native-wifi' tx path for management frames.
Internally in the firmware, it seems that the management TID is flagged to expect
raw frames, and I think that is why I see Action frames on-air that are not actually
encrypted but which have some space added to their packet that should be filled in by
the hw-crypt engine.

Is there a way to get mac80211 to software-crypt just management-tid PMF frames?

So far, I have not been able to find the correct place in the tx logic of
mac80211...

Thanks,
Ben
