This patch series adds support for configuration of BSS selection done by the driver and/or firmware. It allows user-space to pass selection criteria with the NL80211_CMD_CONNECT using NL80211_ATTR_BSS_SELECT. When user-space does provide this attribute and no explicit BSSID is provided it will pass the BSS selection criteria to the driver if the driver supports it. When multiple BSS-es are found belonging to the same ESS, ie. Infra-BSS with same SSID, the criteria can be used to select a BSS. The criteria defined are: 1. select BSS in specific band regardless RSSI level. 2. adjust RSSI level for BSS-es in specified band. Open issue: ----------- * NL80211_CMD_CONNECT support ATTR_MAC and ATTR_MAC_HINT. When ATTR_MAC is used BSS selection criteria are ignored. What about ATTR_MAC_HINT?
