[RFC 2/4] wifi: nl80211: send underlying multi-hardware channel capabilities to user space

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

 



When driver supports multiple physical hardware under one wiphy,
wiphy->num_hw != 0, send per-hardware supported frequency list to
user space. List of frequency are reported inside an index which
identifies the hardware as in wiphy->hw_chans[]. This hardware index
will be used in follow up patches to identify the interface combination
capability for each of the underlying physical hardware abstracted
under one wiphy.
