[PATCH 5/5 v4] mac80211: New notification to discover mesh peer candidates.

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

 



Notify userspace when a beacon/presp is received from a suitable mesh
peer candidate for whom no sta information exists.  Userspace can then
decide to create a sta info for the candidate.  If userspace is not
ready to authenticate the peer right away, it can create the sta info
with the authenticated flag unset and set it later.

Also, modify the NEW_STATION command to accept PLINK_ACTIONS, in case
userspace wants to create stations and initiate a peer link right away
(for authenticated stations) or create a blocked station (for
debugging).
