From 041f9e20b7f794fd7b4932e05d0c938a9ebbf658 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2011 11:59:47 +0200 Subject: mac80211: disable powersave for broken APs commit 05cb91085760ca378f28fc274fbf77fc4fd9886c upstream. Only AID values 1-2007 are valid, but some APs have been found to send random bogus values, in the reported case an AP that was sending the AID field value 0xffff, an AID of 0x3fff (16383). There isn't much we can do but disable powersave since there's no way it can work properly in this case. Reported-by: Bill C Riemers Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
