From 9a65064abdf82934e0ed4744125f9f466f421f57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Dedy Lansky Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2018 14:47:07 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] wil6210: drop Rx multicast packets that are looped-back to STA Delivering a looped-back multicast packet to network stack can cause higher layer protocols to fail like for example IPv6 DAD. In STA mode, upon receiving Rx multicast packet, check if the source MAC address is equal to our own MAC address and if so drop the packet.
