Function of EnforceProtection for CMD_MAC_CONTROL?

[Ronak Chokshi]

If EnforceProtection is 1, 
   For WPA/WPA2 rx packet mode, 
   if ProtectedFrame bit = 0 in FrameControlField, we will discard this
rx packet.
   If ProtectedFrame bit = 1 in FrameControlField, we will continue to
do decryption then pass up the decrypted packet to host if no MIC error.

If EnforceProtection is 0, 
   For WPA/WPA2 rx packet mode, 
   if ProtectedFrame bit = 0 in FrameControlField, we will pass up rx
packet without doing any decryption.
   If ProtectedFrame bit = 1 in FrameControlField, we will continue to
do decryption then pass up the decrypted packet to host if no MIC error.

We haven't yet responded to Holger. We will do it by tomorrow. Which
email from Dave Anders are you talking about? I don't seem to have any
questions from him.

Thanks
Ronak

Hi Ronak!

Could you explain the function of the the EnforceProtection bit (bit 10)
of the action field of the CMD_MAC_CONTROL command?  I'm not entirely
sure what its function is; I'm trying to get WPA support back up and
running.

Also, was there any reply from the Compact Flash or SDIO guys on the
questions that Dave Anders or Holger Schurig had?

Thanks!
Dan
