[PATCH] mwifiex: module load parameter for interface creation

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

 



This patch adds module load parameter driver_mode for mwifiex
which would enable driver to create AP or P2P client interface while loading
module. driver_mode is bitmap of interface modes for station, AP and
P2P client.

Station interface is created by default and is unaffected by driver_mode
parameter.
