[PATCH v2 1/2] wifi: cfg80211: Extend cfg80211_new_sta() for MLD AP

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

 



Add support for drivers to indicate STA connection(MLO/non-MLO) when
user space SME (e.g., hostapd) is not used for MLD AP.

Add new parameters in struct station_info to provide below information
in cfg80211_new_sta() call:
- MLO link ID of the AP, with which station completed (re)association.
  This is applicable for both MLO and non-MLO station connections when
  the AP affiliated with an MLD.
- Station's MLD address if the connection is MLO capable.
- (Re)Association Response IEs sent to the station. User space needs
  this to determine rejected and accepted affiliated links information
  of the connected station if the connection is MLO capable.
