[PATCH] iwlwifi: Extended Key ID support for mvm and dvm

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

 



All iwlwifi cards below the 22000 series are able to handle multiple
keyids per STA and allow the selection of the encryption key per MPDU.

These are therefore fully compatible with the Extended Key ID support
implementation in mac80211.

Enable Extended Key ID support for all dvm cards and the mvm cards not
using the incompatible new Tx API introduced for the 22000 series.

This is basically the V3 of the patch, but the other patches were part
of series and this here is the first standalone version.

V1: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10931879/
V2: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11024137/

V1 become deprecated due to redesigning the Extended Key ID support API.
V2 became deprecated due to the discovery that the 22000 is not (yet)
able to support Extended Key ID.

The patch is still super trivial, but I cross checked that Extended Key
ID support is enabled with my old 3168 card and disabled with my new
AX200 card.
