[RFC 1/4] wifi: nl80211: advertise RU puncturing support to userspace

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

 



From: Aloka Dixit <quic_alokad@xxxxxxxxxxx>

RU preamble puncturing is allowed for bandwidths more than 80 MHz
except 80+80. Drivers may not support puncturing at all or have
restrictions for a minimum bandwidth.
Add new attribute NL80211_ATTR_RU_PUNCT_SUPP_BW to advertise the
driver support to the userspace. Default value (0) will indicate that
RU puncturing is not supported.
