When using control port over nl80211 in AP mode with
pre-authentication, APs need to forward frames to other
APs defined by their MAC address. Before this patch,
pre-auth frames reaching user space over nl80211 control
port have no longer any information about the dest attached,
which can be used for forwarding to a controller or injecting
the frame back to a ethernet interface over a AF_PACKET
socket.
Analog problems exist, when forwarding pre-auth frames from
AP -> STA.
This patch therefore adds the NL80211_ATTR_DST_MAC and
NL80211_ATTR_SRC_MAC attributes to provide more context
information when forwarding.
The respective arguments are optional on tx and included on rx.
Therefore unaware existing software is not affected.
Software which wants to detect this feature, can do so
by checking against:
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CONTROL_PORT_OVER_NL80211_MAC_ADDRS
