X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=3cde38e7f3491ea62429556149713b7a875c9ac2;p=linux-beck.git mac80211: fix off-by-one in llid check. According to IEEE 802.11-2012 (8.4.2.104), no peering management element exists with length 7. This code is checking to see if llid is present to ignore close frames with different llid, which would be IEs with length 8.
