[PATCH] cfg80211: Pass station supported channel and oper class info to kernel

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

 



The information of the peer's supported channels and supported operating
classes are required for the driver to perform TDLS off channel
operations. This commit enhances the function nl80211_(new)set_station
to pass this information of the peer to the driver.
