[023/289] ath9k: fix spurious MIC failure reports

From: Greg KH
Date: Tue Dec 07 2010 - 21:00:40 EST


2.6.36-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Felix Fietkau <nbd@xxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 56363ddeeed3afc5277ca227209773bc1042cc7b upstream.

According to the hardware documentation, the MIC failure bit is only
valid if the frame was decrypted using a valid TKIP key and is not a
fragment.
In some setups I've seen hardware-reported MIC failures on an AP that
was configured for CCMP only, so it's clear that additional checks are
necessary.
