[PATCH 3/3] iw: Add antenna set/get

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

 



Add commands to set and get the antenna configuration. The antenna
configuration is defined as a bitmap of 8 antennas. When multiple antennas are
selected the driver may use diversity. Also the driver may reject antenna
configurations it cannot support.
