A lot of drivers check the frame protocol for ETH_P_PAE, for various reasons (like making those more reliable). Add a new flags bitmap to the TX control info and a new flag indicating the control port protocol is in use to let all drivers also apply such logic to other control port protocols, should they be configured. Also use the new flag in the iwlwifi drivers. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

These books attempt to give a description of the
|
|
various subsystems that play a role in 802.11 wireless
|
|
networking in Linux. Since these books are for kernel
|
|
developers they attempts to document the structures
|
|
and functions used in the kernel as well as giving a
|
|
higher-level overview.

The reader is expected to be familiar with the 802.11

standard as published by the IEEE in 802.11-2007 (or

possibly later versions). References to this standard

will be given as "802.11-2007 8.1.5".

Generally, this document shall be ordered by increasing complexity.

You should read and understand the information contained

In some chapters, advanced usage is noted, that may be

skipped at first.

a lot.
