From 94778280fabdb6bc76db5509bd95859f1141385b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:21:59 +0200 Subject: mac80211: provide sequence numbers I've come to think that not providing sequence numbers for the normal STA mode case was a mistake, at least two drivers now had to implement code they wouldn't otherwise need, and I believe at76_usb and adm8211 might be broken. This patch makes mac80211 assign a sequence number to all those frames that need one except beacons. That means that if a driver only implements modes that do not do beaconing it need not worry about the sequence number. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
