[PATCH] mac80211: define TDLS wider BW support bits

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

 



From: Arik Nemtsov <arik@xxxxxxxxxx>

Allow a device to specify support for the TDLS wider-bandwidth feature.
Indicate this support during TDLS setup in the ext-capab IE and set an
appropriate station flag when our TDLS peer supports it.
This feature gives TDLS peers the ability to use a wider channel than
the base width of the BSS. For instance VHT capable TDLS peers connected
on a 20MHz channel can extend the channel to 80MHz, if regulatory
considerations allow it.

Do not cap the bandwidth of such stations by the current BSS channel width
in mac80211.

This one is obviously needed by
mac80211: upgrade BW of TDLS peers when possible
I just sent. Sorry for not sending them as a series
