The naming used in the patch is pretty confusing: we have "aid" already and now "mesh_aid". Which is which? [Answer: aid is the association id of the peer in our TIM (sta->aid in the kernel), while mesh_aid is our association id in the peer's TIM (sta->mesh->aid).] When it came to naming sta->mesh->aid I kind of punted and described it in the comment struct, but if we're going to call it: > + nla_put_u16(msg, NL80211_ATTR_MESH_PEER_AID, > + params->mesh_aid)) Then we might as well use "peer_aid" everywhere by analogy to peer linkid since both are generated on the peer. -- Bob Copeland %% http://bobcopeland.com/ _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
