mac80211: Force beacon update?

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

 



Hi,

I want to attach a custom IE to beacons, but some drivers (like b43)
are fetching their beacons via ieee80211_beacon_get() only once and
retransmit this beacon every time.
Some other drivers (like mac80211_hwsim, ath9k) are calling it
before every beacon transmission.

Is there a general way to make all drivers generate new beacons instead
of caching them or would I have to adapt them?
If adapting drivers is the only way, do you have any suggestions on
how to do that?

Thank you for your answers.

Regards,
  Reiner
