[PATCH v2 2/2] cfg80211: add support for connecting to PBSS network type

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

 



sme.c assumes BSS is of ESS type. With 802.11ad and the new PBSS network
type, this is not always true.
On DMG (60GHz) band, P2P connection uses PBSS network. Detect P2P
connection for DMG band and adjust BSS type to PBSS.

When connect starts (cfg80211_connect), store the bss type in new field in wdev
(conn_bss_type). This field is used later (e.g. in __cfg80211_connect_result)
when calling cfg80211_get_bss() for finding the BSS we are connecting to.
