[PATCH V5 1/4] 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 an AP gets started. If the BSS is non-transmitting we need
to pass

* the ifidx of the transmitting parent
* the BSS index in the set
* the BSS count of the set
* flag indicating if we want to do EMA
* the multiple bssid elements as an array inside the beacon data

This allows use to generate multiple bssid beacons aswell as EMA ones.
