From fba0cf3407d51706d177ec11d20d241c6a085325 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Fri, 18 Dec 2020 20:15:25 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: do not drop tx nulldata packets on encrypted links ieee80211_tx_h_select_key drops any non-mgmt packets without a key when encryption is used. This is wrong for nulldata packets that can't be encrypted and are sent out for probing clients and indicating 4-address mode.
