[PATCH] nl80211: allow client-only BIGTK support

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

The current NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_BEACON_PROTECTION feature flag
requires both AP and client support, add a new one called
NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_BEACON_PROTECTION_CLIENT that enables only
support in client (and P2P-client) modes.
