+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: mesh: drop frames appearing to be from us
+
+If there are multiple mesh stations with the same MAC address,
+they will both get confused and start throwing warnings.
+
+Obviously in this case nothing can actually work anyway, so just
+drop frames that look like they're from ourselves early on.
