[patch 2/5] Add basic support for IEEE 802.11n discovery and association

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

 



Add basic support for IEEE 802.11n discovery and association.

This patch adds support to discover IEEE 802.11n AP and enable 
association to 802.11n Network. It parses beacon to discover 802.11n 
IE and include HT capability information element in Association Request
Frame. 
It also call low level driver with the HT capability available during 
association.
