Date: Wed, 4 May 2011 10:24:56 -0700 Message-Id: <1304529896-20934-1-git-send-email-javier@cozybit.com> (sfid-20110504_192512_519248_E5EDC844) In-Reply-To: <1304513847.3563.15.camel@jlt3.sipsolutions.net> References: <1304513847.3563.15.camel@jlt3.sipsolutions.net> Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Mesh beacons no longer use all-zeroes BSSID. Beacon frames for MBSS, infrastructure BSS, or IBSS are differentiated by the Capability Information field in the Beacon frame. A mesh STA sets the ESS and IBSS subfields to 0 in transmitted Beacon or Probe Response management frames.
