[PATCH v4 2/2] wifi: mac80211: S1G beacon/short beacon support

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

 



From: Kieran Frewen <kieran.frewen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

With the kernel able to send both short and long S1G beacons, include
the ability for setting the short beacon period. If configured, use
the S1G short beacon format. The S1G short beacon format includes a
limited set of information elements. It also adds the support for
distinguish short beacon head and tail.

Notes:
    v4:
     - squash mac80211 commits together
     - address hitting short head/tail code path in nl80211.c
     - update code style
