   3 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: do not drop tx nulldata packets on encrypted links
   4
   5 ieee80211_tx_h_select_key drops any non-mgmt packets without a key when
   6 encryption is used. This is wrong for nulldata packets that can't be
   7 encrypted and are sent out for probing clients and indicating 4-address
   8 mode.
