[PATCH v2] mac80211: correct header length calculation

From: Fred Chou <hidden>
Date: 2015-01-20 02:14:46
Subsystem: 802.11 (including cfg80211/nl80211), the rest · Maintainers: Johannes Berg, Linus Torvalds

From: Fred Chou <redacted>

HT Control field may also be present in management frames, as defined
in 8.2.4.1.10 of 802.11-2012. Account for this in calculation of header
length.
