[PATCH v2] cfg80211: disallow interfering with stations on non-AP

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

 



On non-AP interfaces userspace has no business interfering with
the station management, this can confuse mac80211 (and other
drivers probably wouldn't support it anyway). Allow adding and
removing stations only on AP interfaces.
