From c7c477b52c4caa2cfb44bf3841f806d1bf20e0bf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 1 Dec 2017 13:50:51 +0200 Subject: mac80211: don't warn on AID field without top two MSBs set While the change between 802.11-2012 and 802.11-2016 to move from requiring APs to set the two top bits to now requiring them to be cleared was apparently unintentional and will be fixed, clients should either way assume that the top five bits are reserved and ignore them. Implement that in mac80211.
