[PATCH v3 00/22] add support for S1G association

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

 



This is the initial S1G patchset which adds support for:

- defining the S1G 900MHz bands in a custom regulatory database
- setting and receiving S1G beacons (sending short beacons will be
  supported in a future patch)
- configuring S1G capabilities in Association Request (setting
  capabilities along with NL80211_CMD_SET_STATION will be added later).
- scanning on S1G bands
- handling S1G Association Response format
- correctly encoding Listen Interval for S1G
- associating in mac80211
- testing S1G in mac80211_hwsim

Rate control is still TBD, this patchset simply lops off the rate
control hooks for S1G so eg. missing sband->bitrates and S1G Basic Rate
set can't do too much damage.

Note the mac80211_hwsim S1G support introduces a regression in a few
hostap hwsim tests. This is because when processing the reported bands,
hostap assumes freq < 4000 is 11b, and the actual 11b/g band is
overwritten by the S1G band info. Though it does count as a userspace
regression, I'm not sure there is much to do about it besides apply a
small patch to hostapd which treats freq < 2000 as an unknown band.

After the hostap workaround
(https://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/hostap/2020-August/038748.html),
these patches continue to pass the hwsim tests as well as HEAD.
