[PATCH wireless-dev 4/6] d80211: Send Layer 2 Update frames in kernel

2006-08-07 Thread Jouni Malinen
Send Layer 2 Update frame from the 802.11 code in kernel to the netdev that the STA is bound to. If the STA is bound to another VLAN netdev, send another update frame. This fixes an issue in which a local bridge table was not updated when hostapd sent this frame. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen <[EMA
