[PATCH 1/5] mac80211: add radiotap flag to assure frames are not reordered

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

 



Add a new radiotap flag to indicate injected frames must not be
reordered relative to other frames that also have this flag set,
independent of priority field values in the transmitted frame.
Parse this radiotap flag and define and set a corresponding Tx
control flag. Note that this flag has recently been standardized
as part of an update to radiotap.
