From d007b7f42e2a3a2b95ef43e8cc1a3dfe66b19736 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 18 Feb 2008 18:53:55 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] b43(legacy): include full timestamp in beacon frames Having the full RX timestamp in beacons is necessary for IBSS merge to work properly so extend the 16-bit timestamp to the full 64 bits for beacon frames (as well as when monitor mode is active.)
