From d46e144b65bf053b25d134ec9f52a38e63e04bb4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2008 23:59:33 +0100 Subject: mac80211: rework TX filtered frame code This reworks the code for TX filtered frames, splitting it out to a new function to handle those cases, making the clear instruction a flag and renaming a few things to be easier to understand and less Atheros hardware specific. Finally, it also makes the comments explain more. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
