[PATCH 3/9] nl80211: add authorized flag to CONNECT event

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

 



When the driver supports offloading of the PTK/GTK handshakes
completion of that during connect changes the layer 2 control
port state to authorized. This patch allows the driver to pass
that state in cfg80211_connect_done() resulting in adding the
new flag NL80211_ATTR_PORT_AUTHORIZED in the NL80211_CMD_CONNECT
notification. For 802.1X the driver is expected to issue the
NL80211_CMD_CONNECT notification twice. First without the new
attribute to inform user-space that 802.1X authentication can
start and a second one with the new attribute to indicate the
completion of the handshakes.
