[PATCH v6] cfg80211: Provision to allow the support for different beacon intervals

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

 



This commit provides a mechanism for the host drivers to advertise the
support for different beacon intervals among the respective interface
combinations in a group, through diff_beacon_int_gcd (u32).

The configured BI for a specific interface must be a multiple of this
value and also the active beaconing interfaces (along with the current
one) must match with the interface combinations in a group that advertise
the support for different beacon interval.
