[PATCH 2/3 v3] ath9k: Add change_interface callback

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

 



Add support to change interface type
without bringing down the interface.

Signed-off-by: Rajkumar Manoharan <rmanoharan@xxxxxxxxxxx>
---
v2: - ieee80211_iftype_p2p not needed
    - missed to store p2p value
v3: - nbcnvifs has to be checked
      while changing to beaconing mode
