    mac80211: don't drop mesh peering frames from unknown STA · 815b8092
    Marco Porsch authored
    Previously, mesh peering frames from a STA without a station
    entry were being dropped.
    
    Mesh Peering Open and other frames (WLAN_CATEGORY_SELF_PROTECTED)
    are valid mesh peering frames even if received from a yet unknown
    station; the STA entry will be created in mesh_peer_init later.
    
    The problem didn't occur previously since both STAs receive each
    other's beacons which created the STA entry. However, this causes
    an unnecessary delay and beacons might not be received if either
    node is in PS mode.
