[PATCH 1/3] cfg80211: Add nl80211 antenna configuration

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

 



Allow setting TX and RX antenna configuration via nl80211/cfg80211.

The antenna configuration is defined as a bitmap of allowed antennas. This
bitmap is 8 bit at the moment, each bit representing one antenna. If multiple
antennas are selected, the driver may use diversity for receive and transmit.
This allows for a simple, yet flexible configuration interface for antennas,
while drivers may reject configurations they cannot support.
