Subject: mac80211: do not send duplicate data frames to the cooked monitor interface
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b1f93314bfc4d5753391616735f6b8df96db901d;p=linux-beck.git

mac80211: do not send duplicate data frames to the cooked monitor interface

I can't think of a valid use case for this aside from debugging (which can
also be done with a real monitor interface), and dropping these frames saves
some precious CPU cycles.
