I'm not convinced that this is a good idea - these frames will still populate the BSS cache, and it's not really quite well-specified what happens when you have both [1] I also don't understand the use case; "might be interested" is ... very vague. johannes [1] obviously, today you get both, but an argument could be made for userspace RX meaning the frame has no action taken in the kernel, like with action frames. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
