mac80211: fix NULL dereference in radiotap code 2011-11-26T17:09:54+00:00 Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com 2011-11-08T11:28:33+00:00 492d7eff2def54c6e5521ee82764ca22025e7030 commit f8d1ccf15568268c76f913b45ecdd33134387f1a upstream. When receiving failed PLCP frames is enabled, there won't be a rate pointer when we add the radiotap header and thus the kernel will crash. Fix this by not assuming the rate pointer is always valid. It's still always valid for frames that have good PLCP though, and that is checked & enforced.

mac80211: consolidate MIC failure report handling 2011-05-02T18:49:14+00:00 Christian Lamparter chunkeey@googlemail.com 2011-04-30T13:24:30+00:00 816c04fe7ef01dd9649f5ccfe796474db8708be5 Currently, mac80211 handles MIC failures differently depending on whenever they are detected by the stack's own software crypto or when are handed down from the driver. This patch tries to unify both by moving the special branch out of mac80211 rx hotpath and into into the software crypto part. This has the advantage that we can run a few more sanity checks on the data and verify if the key type was TKIP. This is very handy because several devices generate false postive MIC failure reports.
