[PATCH 01/12] nl80211: add basic multiple bssid support

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

 



This patch adds support for passing the multiple bssid config to the
kernel when adding an interface. A bss can be legacy, transmitting or
non-transmitting. A non-transmitting BSSID will have a parent interface,
which needs to be transmitting.
