[PATCH v3 4/6] cfg80211: Add an option to hint indoor operation

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

 



Add the option to hint the wireless core that it is operating in an indoor
environment.

In addition add regulatory_ir_allowed(), that can be used to
test if initiation radiation is allowed based on the channel flags
and the wireless core indoor hint.
