Something like this?
struct ieee80211_antenna lbs_antennas {
u32 hwvalue;
u32 flags;
u32 capability;
int max_gain;
}
static struct ieee80211_antenna lbs_antennas[] = {
{
.hwvalue = 0,
.capability = IEEE80211_ANTENNA_RXTX,
}
};
wiphy->antennas = lbs_antennas;
wiphy->n_anteanns = ARRAY_SIZE(lbs_antennas);
Or should the antennas be added to "struct
ieee80211_supported_band" instead of wiphy?
Capabilities could be
#define IEEE80211_ANTENNA_RX BIT(0)
#define IEEE80211_ANTENNA_TX BIT(1)
#define IEEE80211_ANTENNA_OMNI BIT(2)
#define IEEE80211_ANTENNA_SECTIONAL BIT(3)
#define IEEE80211_ANTENNA_RXTX
(IEEE80211_ANTENNA_RX | IEEE80211_ANTENNA_TX)
An unknown gain would be set to 0.

Libertas doesn't give this to you, AFAIK you can just get the
number of antennas.

What is "chainmask setting", I don't even know the concept.
You didn't give any comment on my mask idea for the user-space
API.
