mac80211: drop non-auth 3-addr data frames when running as a 4-addr station
When running as a 4-addr station against an AP that has the 4-addr VLAN interface and the main 3-addr AP interface bridged together, sometimes frames originating from the station were looping back from the 3-addr AP interface, causing the bridge code to emit warnings about receiving frames with its own source address. I'm not sure why this is happening yet, but I think it's a good idea to drop all frames (except 802.1x/EAP frames) that do not match the configured addressing mode, including 4-address frames sent to a 3-address station. User test reports indicate that the problem goes away with this patch. Signed-off-by: Felix Fietkau <nbd@openwrt.org> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
