Hi !
I'm currently adding IBSS to libertas+cfg80211. Now I'd like
to get some clarifications:
a) when I create a new IBSS and i get a successful response to
the CMD_802_11_AD_HOC_START firmware command, I need to tell
this to cfg80211 somehow.
cfg80211_ibss_joined() seems appropriate, but "iw event"
doesn't show anything. Is this a short-coming or an indication
of an error on my side? Also, "iw wlan info" or "iw wlan link"
doesn't show me anything at all.
b) the docs to cfg80211_ibss_joined() says that I need to call
cfg80211_inform_bss() "with the locally generated beacon". I don't
have any idea which beacon my firmware generates, so I guess I
need to fake some beacon data. Correct? Which IEs should I add?
c) cfg80211_inform_bss() has a field "signal". However, when I
ask my firmware to start beacon, then I don't really have any
signal level. If I add "0", then "iw wlan0 scan dump" shows me
this as a signal:
BSS 02:24:54:25:0f:24 (on wlan0)
freq: 2412
beacon interval: 100
capability: IBSS (0x0002)
signal: 0.00 dBm
last seen: 6184 ms ago
d) And finally, for "u64 timestamp", is it okay to just submit
a zero here?
