[PATCH 18/20] wil6210: off channel transmit management frames in AP mode

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

 



From: Ahmad Masri <amasri@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently wil6210 ignores the channel field in the
cfg80211_mgmt_tx_params struct for wil_cfg80211_ops mgmt_tx operation
and sends all management frames on the serving channel.

Add support for off-channel transmission of management frames
(WIPHY_FLAG_OFFCHAN_TX) in AP mode. This is useful in enterprise APs
for sending custom probe request frames.
