[PATCH 14/28] ieee80211: add new VHT capability fields/parsing

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

IEEE 802.11-2016 extended the VHT capability fields to allow
indicating the number of spatial streams depending on the
actually used bandwidth, add support for decoding this.
