mac80211: fix DS to MBSS address translation
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The destination address of unicast frames forwarded through a mesh gate
was being replaced with the broadcast address. Instead leave the
original destination address as the mesh DA. If the nexthop address is
not in the mpath table it will be resolved. If that fails, the frame
will be forwarded to known mesh gates.
