Hmm, do you really need to make it configurable? * works the wl1271 firmware better with this set? * or better when unset? * or is it a "depends on" type answer? As far as I understood you, it works better if the firmware detects the connection loss and when mac80211 doesn't interfere. If this understanding is true, then configuring this via nl80211 seems to be the wrong thing. Instead, you should tell mac80211 about your wishes when registering your driver against mac80211. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
