[PATCH 4.14 011/185] iwlwifi: mvm: send BCAST management frames to the right station

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Thu Oct 03 2019 - 12:06:37 EST


From: Emmanuel Grumbach <emmanuel.grumbach@xxxxxxxxx>

commit 65c3b582ecab7a403efdf08babbf87fdbe27369c upstream.

Probe responses were sent to the multicast station while
they should be routed to the broadcast station.
This has no negative effect since the frame was still
routed to the right queue, but it looked very fishy
to send a frame to a (queue, station) tuple where
'queue' is not mapped to 'station'.

Fixes: 7c305de2b954 ("iwlwifi: mvm: Direct multicast frames to the correct station")
