[PATCH 4/5] AP: Restrict Vendor VHT to 2.4 GHz only

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Vendor VHT IE is used only on 2.4 GHz band. Hence restrict the usage
of vendor VHT element to 2.4 GHz. This will ensure that invalid / wrong
user config will not impact beacon data in other than 2.4 GHz band.
