[PATCH 1/2] mac80211: explicitly disable/enable QoS

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

 



Add interface to disable/enable QoS (aka WMM or WME). Currently drivers
enable it explicitly when ->conf_tx method is called, and newer disable.
Disabling is needed for some APs, which do not support QoS, such
we should send QoS frames to them.
