Like mac80211 did, this driver makes 'clever' use of skb->cb to pass information along with an skb as it is requeued from the virtual device to the physical wireless device. Unfortunately, that trick no longer works... Unlike mac80211, code complexity and driver apathy makes this hack the best option we have in the short run. Hopefully someone will eventually be motivated to code a proper fix before all the effected hardware dies. (Above text by me. Johannes officially disavows all knowledge of this hack. -- JWL) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W. Linville Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
