From 8f236d1bef659ca69c912536a69b3031e5ba3269 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Lamparter Date: Sun, 10 Oct 2010 01:15:07 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] carl9170: A-MPDU frame type filter In the past, carl9170 has been plagued by mysterious ghosts. e.g.: wlan4: deauthenticated from 02:04:d8:3c:ac:c1 (Reason: 0) Apparently, the AP sent us a bogus deauthentication notification. But upon closer inspection the "management frame" turned out to be a corrupted scrap of an unsuccessful A-MPDU. Signed-off-by: Christian Lamparter Signed-off-by: John W.
