[PATCH v2] mac80211: remove supported channels element in 6 GHz if ECSA support

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

We should not include the supported channels element if we have
(advertise) support for extended channel switching. To avoid any
interop issues because we always added it in the past, obey this
restriction only in the (new) 6 GHz band.
