[RFC] mac80211: update the channel context after channel switch

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

 



When the channel switch has been made, a vif is now using
the channel context which was reserved. When that happens,
we need to update the channel context since its parameters
may change.

I hit a case in which I switched to a 40Mhz channel but the
reserved channel context was still on 20Mhz. The rate control
would try to send 40Mhz packets on a 20Mhz channel context and
that made iwlwifi's firmware unhappy.

This is a second version of the patch I sent earlier.
I think the first version is more generic.

Luca / Michal / Whoever, please share your thoughts on which version
should be merged.
