mac80211: drop frames for sta with no valid rate
When we're associated we should be able to send data to target sta. If we cannot we may be trying to use the incorrect band to talk to the sta. Lets catch any such cases, warn, and drop the frames to not invalidate assumptions being made on rate control algorithms when they have a valid sta to communicate with. Any such cases should be handled and fixed. Signed-off-by: Luis R. Rodriguez <lrodriguez@atheros.com> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
