Subject: [RFC] bridging: don't forward EAPOL frames
Date: Thu, 22 Nov 2007 14:23:28 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1195737808.6323.102.camel@johannes.berg> (raw)

This patch makes the bridging code drop EAPOL frames as recommended by
802.1X-2004 in C.3.3.

Is this really the right place to put it?
