From fc88518916793af8ad6a02e05ff254d95c36d875 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 30 Jul 2010 13:23:12 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: don't check rates on PLCP error frames Frames that failed PLCP error checks are most likely microwave transmissions (well, maybe not ...) and don't have a proper rate detected, so ignore it.
