Description sebastien.deronne 2016-02-14 10:54:25 UTC

Similarly as described in bug 2120 for mixed b/g scenarios, this bug concerns a mix of legacy and HT/VHT stations. A legacy client is not supported by an 802.11n/ac network and association fails. The patch should also take care of protection mechanisms.

patch to fix backward compatibility

Small increment to the fix for bug 2120 to fix 802.11n/ac backward compatibility and coexistence with legacy stations.
I also plan to port those changes before code freeze for ns-3.25.
