[RFC PATCH 0/1] mac80211: Support for HW connection recovery

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

 



When PSM is enabled, the wl1271 performs connection recovery independently by
sending probe-requests to the associated-to AP if it detects beacon loss.

The wl1271 only indicates connection problem after the probe-requests have
failed. At this stage, it's useless for the mac80211 to send further
probe requests in attempt to recover the connection.

Add a new function to allow the HW to indicate this situation.

Juuso Oikarinen (1):
  mac80211: Add ieee80211_probereq_failed function
