From e4b0b32aa1c0dd7ae6340833dd6b19de46409a88 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ben Greear Date: Thu, 3 Mar 2011 14:39:05 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] ath5k: Put hardware in PROMISC mode if there is more than 1 stations. It seems ath5k has issues receiving broadcast packets (ARPs) when using multiple STA interfaces associated with multiple APs. This patch ensures the NIC is always in PROMISC mode if there are more than 1 stations associated. Signed-off-by: Ben Greear Signed-off-by: John W.
