[PATCH 0/3] implement active mesh scanning

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

 



This set improves the mesh scanning functionality by:

	- responding to broadcast or directed probe requests
	- allowing the user to generate a directed mesh probe request, ie:
		iw mesh0 scan ssid foo
	  on a mesh interface will send probe requests where the ssid "foo" has
	  been filled into the mesh ID IE.

Also patch 1 caches the mesh beacon in a struct beacon_data each time it
changes so probe responses can be quickly built. This is also convenient when
the TIM IE becomes needed for PS.

Applies on mac80211-next/master
