[PATCH] mac80211: enable IBSS merging

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

 



enable IBSS cell merging. if an IBSS beacon with the same ESSID and a TSF
higher than the local TSF (mactime) is received, we have to join its BSSID.

* move the relevant code section (previously only containing debug code) down
to the end of the function, so we can reuse the bss structure.

* we have to compare the mactime (TSF at the time of packet receive) rather
than the current TSF.

* in IBSS mode we want to allow beacons to override probe response info so we
can correctly do merges.

* we don't only configure beacons based on scan results, so change that
message.

* to enable all this we have to let all beacons thru in IBSS mode, even if they
have a different BSSID.
