Hi,

Sorry for interrupting you.
The below patch do recovers from pn-key mismatch in kernel 3.12 kernel

To: linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org


Hi,
When I am sending heavy traffic through wireless, the packet number
and key is mismatching.
I have applied the below patch which solves my pn-key mismatch packet drop.

This is the right place for submitting a proper solution, but I believe
you've already been told that what you're doing isn't a proper solution
at all.

Thank you Johannes for your response. Since we were facing this issue,
i looked at the available patches. None solved the issue for us.
I may be missing something, can you please let me know if the solution
for this is already available?
Any inputs much appreciated.

regards
