+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: fix for incorrect sequence number on hostapd injected frames
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+When hostapd injects a frame, e.g. an authentication or association
+response, mac80211 looks for a suitable access point virtual interface
+to associate the frame with based on its source address. This makes it
+possible e.g. to correctly assign sequence numbers to the frames.
+
+A small typo in the ethernet address comparison statement caused a
+failure to find a suitable ap interface. Sequence numbers on such
+frames where therefore left unassigned causing some clients
+(especially windows-based 11b/g clients) to reject them and fail to
+authenticate or associate with the access point. This patch fixes the
+typo in the address comparison statement.
