From d524215f6cad245249df8def19125ae6fd0bcc9b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Fri, 8 Jan 2010 18:06:26 +0100 Subject: mac80211: use nullfunc frames for 4-addr sta detection To detect incoming 4-addr stations, hostapd needs to receive a 4-addr data frame from the remote station, so that it can create the AP VLAN for it. With this patch, the mlme code emits a 4-addr nullfunc frame immediately after assoc. On the AP side it also drops 4-addr nullfunc frames to the cooked monitor mode interface, if the interface hasn't been fully set up to receive 4-addr data frames yet.
