[PATCH 1/4 v2] mac80211: Generalize off-channel operation helpers from scan code

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

 



From: Jouni Malinen <jouni.malinen@xxxxxxxxxxx>

The off-channel operations for going into power save mode (station
mode) or stop beaconing (AP/IBSS) are not limited to scanning. Move
these into a separate file and allow them to be used for other
purposes, too.
