From df44205455773852a6af10a7c6ed768fe8a86b31 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ivo van Doorn <ivdoorn@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 5 May 2008 20:40:35 +0200 Subject: mac80211: Don't encrypt beacons mac80211 should set the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_DO_NOT_ENCRYPT flag in tx_control structure to inform drivers not to encrypt the beacon. Drivers that only check for that flag before accessing the hw_key field, will otherwise cause a NULL pointer dereference since that field is not configured for beacons.
