Hello,
My variant of ath10k uses the normal 'native-wifi' tx path for management
frames.
Internally in the firmware, it seems that the management TID is flagged to
expect
raw frames, and I think that is why I see Action frames on-air that are not
actually
encrypted but which have some space added to their packet that should be filled
in by
the hw-crypt engine.
Is there a way to get mac80211 to software-crypt just management-tid PMF frames?
So far, I have not been able to find the correct place in the tx logic of
mac80211...
Thanks,
Ben
Ok, I found the issue. It seems the ath10k hardware refuses to encrypt
management frames unless they are sent in RAW mode (nwifi mgt frames are sent
w/out encryption for whatever reason).
So, the fix is in the ath10k driver (and just my driver I suppose, stock
driver uses a different API for mgt frames that eventually is raw-tx down in
the firmware).
Thanks,
Ben
