[PATCH 11/13] mac80211_hwsim: register netlink even with multi-channel

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

Reject wmediumd registrations when any devices have multi-channel
capability, but register the generic netlink family unconditionally
to make it possible to add new commands that shouldn't depend on
the number of (default) channels.
