[RFC] mac80211: Enhancements to dynamic power save.

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

 



This patch is based on Kalle's initial RFC patches on dynamic power save.
Since ath9k/ath5k,stlc45xx and b43 need the driver to send the null
frame, it is appropriate to do it from mac80211. 
This patch enables mac80211 to send a null frame and also to
check for tim in the beacon if power save is enabled.
