From 508dfc1f2ccdc480893332aaeb5e8d076769f7c3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Wu Date: Tue, 28 Oct 2025 10:04:42 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] wifi: mac80211: Allow HT Action frame processing on 6 GHz when HE is supported Management frames on 6 GHz do not include HT Capabilities, causing HT Action frames to be dropped in ieee80211_rx_h_action(). The current logic checks only ht_cap.ht_supported, which fails for 6 GHz radios that support only HE and EHT. Update the condition to also allow HT Action frame processing when he_cap.has_he is true. This enables support for HE dynamic SM power save as defined in IEEE Std 802.11ax-2021, section 26.14.4.
