#839: LLC input frame error
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: madwifi: 802.11 stack | Version: trunk
Keywords: LLC | Patch_attached: 1
-----------------------------------+----------------------------------------
Kernel later than 2.6.16 use separate LLC handling when using the bridge
module. Because of this, it is necessary to mark all the LLC type input
frame ( for STP,etc..) as 802.2. This is missing from ieee80211_input.c.
The suggested patch:
