+Subject: hostapd: enable STBC only for STBC capable STAs
+X-Git-Url: http://hostap.epitest.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=36af1c7d31bdc5ba4dacacbf32d3c7585665ae2b
+
+hostapd: enable STBC only for STBC capable STAs
+
+hostapd simply used its own STBC configuration in the STA's HT caps. This
+resulted in TX STBC being used for STAs not supporting RX STBC, which in
+turn resulted in the STA not receiving anything.
+
+Fix this by handling the STBC flags in the same way mac80211 does. Mask
+out RX STBC if we don't support TX STBC and vice versa.
+
+Tested only with the nl80211 driver and a STBC incapable STA.
