[PATCH v2 1/2] wifi: nl80211: add link id of transmitted profile for MLO MBSSID

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

 



From: Rameshkumar Sundaram <quic_ramess@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Currently non-transmitted profile provides the interface index of the
transmitted profile. The index matches one of the interface indices
advertised by the kernel.

For MLO MBSSID, if the transmitted profile is part of an MLD, then the
transmitted profile is a specific link of that MLD. Utilizing only the
interface index of transmitted profile is no longer sufficient to
identify transmitted profile for MLO.

Add a new attribute to specify link id of the transmitted profile of
MBSSID group if the profile is part of an MLD. It is required to map
the nontransmitted link to corresponding transmitted link.
