[PATCH 4/4] cfg80211/nl80211: allow any interface to send channel switch notifications

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

 



From: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@xxxxxxxxx>

For multi-vif channel switches, we want to send
NL80211_CMD_CH_SWITCH_NOTIFY to the userspace to let it decide whether
other interfaces need to be moved as well.  This is needed when we run
out of available channels or when we want a P2P GO interface to follow
the channel of a station, for example.

Modify the code so that all interfaces can send CSA notifications.
Additionally, send notifications for STA CSA as well.
