From c14a74007f3712413140b5d06d4f7691234a8d3b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 9 Apr 2014 22:36:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: ignore invalid BSSIDs when looking for BSSes When looking for a BSS matching given parameters, ignore invalid BSSIDs. This avoids, for example, trying to join an IBSS that has a multicast BSSID, which isn't supported by all drivers nor is it a valid configuration of the IBSS so better create a new one with a correctly chosen random BSSID.
