Subject: mac80211: as a 4-addr station, do not receive packets for other stations
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4f3123366f78cf34ce7caab923e2b3c4fe9e16c2;p=linux-beck.git

mac80211: as a 4-addr station, do not receive packets for other stations

Since 4-addr frames completely override the source address which will
make it into the converted 802.3 frames, receiving frames for other
4-addr stations will confuse the bridging code.

To be able to handle traffic for all connected devices, the bridge
code will automatically turn on promiscuous mode, which triggers
this problem.
