[RFC V3 01/11] nl80211: add reporting of gscan capabilities

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

 



From: Arend van Spriel <arend@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

GScan is a scan offload feature used in recent Android releases. This
patch adds possibility for wireless device drivers to report their
capabilities and provide it to user-space.
