Having further reviewed my code, I have changed my mind; the ieee80211_crypt_tkip routines are not designed to be responsible for creating enough headroom and tailroom. The "hostap" driver should be doing this. In fact, I now see that the "hostap" driver actually attempts to create enough headroom and tailroom, but computes them incorrectly. I will, per the MAINTAINERS file, head back to the hostap mailing list with a patch for hostap_80211_tx.c - this time, CC'ing the official maintainer, as I ought; thank you, Michael Wu, for making me aware of that bit of courtesy. -- Brandon Craig Rhodes [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://rhodesmill.org/brandon - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
