[PATCH 08/28] mac80211: Fix station bandwidth setting after channel switch

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

 



From: Ilan Peer <ilan.peer@xxxxxxxxx>

When performing a channel switch flow for a managed interface, the
flow did not update the bandwidth of the AP station and the rate
scale algorithm. In case of a channel width downgrade, this would
result with the rate scale algorithm using a bandwidth that does not
match the interface channel configuration.

Fix this by updating the AP station bandwidth and rate scaling algorithm
before the actual channel change in case of a bandwidth downgrade, or
after the actual channel change in case of a bandwidth upgrade.
