Subject: [PATCH] ieee80211: Fix kernel panic when QoS is enabled
Date: Mon, 13 Nov 2006 11:32:50 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061113033250.GA16740@mail.intel.com> (raw)
The 802.11 header length is affected by the wireless mode (WDS or not) and
type (QoS or not). We should use the variable hdr_len instead of the
hard coded IEEE80211_3ADDR_LEN, otherwise we may touch invalid memory.
