From 9926a67557532acb6cddb1c1add02952175b5c72 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Lamparter Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2012 21:36:36 +0100 Subject: carl9170: fix frame delivery if sta is in powersave mode Nicolas Cavallari discovered that carl9170 has some serious problems delivering data to sleeping stations. It turns out that the driver was not honoring two important flags (IEEE80211_TX_CTL_POLL_RESPONSE and IEEE80211_TX_CTL_CLEAR_PS_FILT) which are set on frames that should be sent although the receiving station is still in powersave mode.
