Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: remove iwlwifi specific workaround that broke sta NDP tx
Date: Sat, 19 Jun 2021 12:15:17 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210619101517.90806-1-nbd@nbd.name> (raw)
Sending nulldata packets is important for sw AP link probing and detecting
4-address mode links. The checks that dropped these packets were apparently
added to work around an iwlwifi firmware bug with multi-TID aggregation.
Fixes: 41cbb0f5a295 ("mac80211: add support for HE")
