[PATCH] mac80211: allow WDS mode

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

 



This allows creating interfaces in WDS mode or switching
existing ones into WDS mode (both via cfg80211 and wext.)

Not too useful without AP mode, but I see no reason to not allow WDS
(unlike AP where I do see reasons.) Maybe somebody can come up with a
different use for it...
