[PATCH] cfg80211: Add feature flag to indicate RSNXE IE support in FT

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

 



Add a new feature flag that drivers in which FT handshake is offloaded,
to advertise support for interoperability with legacy clients which
doesn't support using RSNXE IE for MIC calculation in FT handshake. The
userspace can choose to enable/disable FT protocols that require RSNXE IE
to be used based on this flag advertised by drivers.
