    cfg80211: configure multicast to unicast for AP interfaces · ce0ce13a
    Michael Braun authored
    
    
    Add the ability to configure if an AP (and associated VLANs) will
    do multicast-to-unicast conversion for ARP, IPv4 and IPv6 frames
    (possibly within 802.1Q). If enabled, such frames are to be sent
    to each station separately, with the DA replaced by their own MAC
    address rather than the group address.
    
    Note that this may break certain expectations of the receiver,
    such as the ability to drop unicast IP packets received within
    multicast L2 frames, or the ability to not send ICMP destination
    unreachable messages for packets received in L2 multicast (which
    is required, but the receiver can't tell the difference if this
    new option is enabled.)
    
    This also doesn't implement the 802.11 DMS (directed multicast
    service).
