Making things work against random kernel versions of OpenWRT is not particularly "credible". If the driver needs hacks to work with older kernels, then they should be applied for the older kernels. Linux does not have a history of carrying hacks in current drivers to accommodate older kernels.
Well forget OpenWRT. The point is that this is not a hack - it's the behavior that mac80211 expects and documents and moreover it does NOT pass more data frames than before. It does not pass more data frames before association because the RCR RCR_ACCEPT_AP bit is not set and the RCR_CHECK_BSSID_* bits are set. bruno
