configuring while interface is down

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

 



Hi,

Alina raised an interesting point -- wext allows you to configure an
interface while it is down, at least by convention. Some parameters for
cfg80211 we reject while an interface is down, e.g. adding new stations,
partly for technical reasons and partly because that doesn't make sense
when the mode of interface isn't fixed.

For cfg80211's assoc/ibss calls, I think we should reject them outright
when the interface is down, any objections?
