From a46f025d053e47b9ce602f53f6d30e94d304a51c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Abhijeet Kolekar Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 14:02:04 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Fix n-band association problem There are two structures named wmm_info and wmm_param, they are used while parsing the beacon frame. (Check the function ieee802_11_parse_elems). Certain APs like D-link does not set the fifth bit in WMM IE. While sending the association request to n-only ap it checks for wmm_ie. If it is set then only ieee80211_ht_cap is sent during association request. So n-only association fails. And this patch fixes this problem by copying the wmm_info to wmm_ie, which enables the "wmm" flag in iee80211_send_assoc.
