mac80211: Fill in skb->protocol information for injected frames
Some drivers (ath9k for example) are using skb->protocol to treat EAPOL frames somehow special (disallow aggregation for example). When running in AP mode hostapd injects the EAPOL frames through a monitor interface and thus skb->protocol isn't set at all. Hence, if the injected frame is a data frame and carries a rfc1042 headaer update the skb->protocol field accordingly. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa <helmut.schaa@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: John W.
