[PATCH 7/9] mac80211: add api to set CSA counter in mac80211

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

 



From: Gregory Greenman <gregory.greenman@xxxxxxxxx>

Sometimes the most updated CSA counter values are known only
to the device. Add an API to pass this data to mac80211.
