[PATCH 2/2] wifi: mac80211: obtain AP HT/VHT data for assoc request

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

In the association request, we make some parameters depend on the
AP's HT/VHT information. This was broken by my code because it no
longer filled that information, making it all zero.

For HT that meant we wouldn't reduce our capabilities to 20 MHz if
needed, and for VHT we lost beamforming capabilities.

Fix this. It seems like it may even have been broken for all but
the assoc link before.
