[RFC PATCH 2/8] mac80211: Add per-interface powersave states and parameters

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

 



In preparation for managing powersave states on a per-interface
basis, add powersave states and parameters to the interface-
specific data structures. Also add a change_ps driver callback
to notify drivers about changes to interface powersave states.

The new members and callback are unused here but will be
utilized by subsequent commits.
