[PATCH 07/21] wifi: net: wireless: correct validation 6G Band for primary channel

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

 



From: Mordechay Goodstein <mordechay.goodstein@xxxxxxxxx>

Current check that beacon primary channel is in the range of 80Mhz
(abs < 80) is invalid for EHT 320Mhz due to 6G DUP beacon means that
AP transmits on all the sub 20Mhz channels the beacon.

9.4.2.249 HE Operation element - ... AP transmits Beacon frames in
non-HT duplicate PPDU with a TXVECTOR parameter CH_BANDWIDTH value
that is up to the BSS bandwidth.

So in case of 320Mhz the DUP beacon can be in upper 160 for primary
channel in the lower 160 giving possibly a absolute range of over
80Mhz.

Also this check is redundant all together, if AP has a wrong primary
channel in the beacon it's a fluty AP, and we would fail in next
steps to connect.
