[PATCH 4/4] mac80211: Implement functionality to monitor txrate cross event for a station

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

 



Trigger cfg80211_sta_mon_txrate_notify with the corresponding txrate
event when the txrate for a station goes out of configured range.
This event will be useful for the application like steering to take
decision on any station depends on its current capability.
