From 217ba9da8ea6bb270a1f463367083cc5d99f2493 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Tue, 10 Mar 2009 10:55:50 +0200 Subject: ath9k: Fix FIF_PROMISC_IN_BSS processing in station mode We must not disable ACK sending in this case since it would break normal station operations. In addition, clarify the comment about AP mode to make more sense. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen Signed-off-by: John W.
