[PATCH] wl12xx: disable 11a channels when regulatory changes if 11a is not supported

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

 



From: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@xxxxxxxxx>

Instead of simply not scanning for the 11a channels when not supported by the
hardware, disable the channels in reg_notify.  This centralizes the decision
on whether to scan 5GHz channel in one place and allows userspace to know
exactly which channels are in use.

Based on Juuso Oikarinen's idea.
