From b95d2ccd2ccb834394d50347d0e40dc38a954e4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com Date: Thu, 26 Mar 2020 15:53:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: set IEEE80211_TX_CTRL_PORT_CTRL_PROTO for nl80211 TX
When a frame is transmitted via the nl80211 TX rather than as a normal frame, IEEE80211_TX_CTRL_PORT_CTRL_PROTO wasn't set and this will lead to wrong decisions (rate control etc.) being made about the frame; fix this.
