[PATCH] mac80211: fix warning in 6 GHz IE addition in mesh mode

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

 



The commit 24a2042cb22f ("mac80211: add HE 6 GHz Band Capability
element") failed to check device capability before adding HE 6 GHz
capability element. Below warning is reported in 11ac device in mesh.
Fix that by checking device capability at HE 6 GHz cap IE addition
in mesh beacon and association request.
