[PATCH v8 07/15] cfg80211: parse multi-bssid only if HW supports it

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

 



From: Sara Sharon <sara.sharon@xxxxxxxxx>

Parsing and exposing nontransmitted APs is problematic
when underlying HW doesn't support it. Do it only if
driver indicated support. Allow HE restriction as well,
since the HE spec defined the exact manner that Multiple
BSSID set should behave. APs that not support the HE
spec will have less predictable Multiple BSSID set
support/behavior
