[PATCH] mac80211: allow overriding station bandwidth.

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

 



From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This allows one to disable VHT160 (or 80+80) on hardware
that might otherwise try to use it.  One potential reason
to do this is that at least some 160Mhz/80+80 hardware can
only do 2x2 at 160Mhz, but can do 4x4 at 80Mhz.  And, due to
driver and firmware issues, it may effectively be limitted
to 1x1 at 160Mhz for some NICs.
