preparing for 802.11ah channels

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

 



Hello,

I'm working on defining new channels for S1G PHYs in mac80211. These
are in the 900MHz range and center frequency for the 1MHz channels are
on a half MHz, while the existing channel definitions are in units of
MHz.

In order to support the new channels we could change the internal
center frequency units to KHz and extend the nl80211 API so
NL80211_FREQUENCY_ATTR_FREQ and NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_FREQ get _KHZ
variants while renaming the original attributes to _MHZ to reflect the
units.

>From looking at the code it looks like this should be fairly
straightforward, if involving a lot of changes since the driver
declarations would have to change too. Am I missing something
obviously wrong, or does this sound reasonable?

Thanks,

Thomas
