[PATCH 8/8] {nl,cfg,mac}80211: let userspace make meshif mesh gate

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

 



From: Javier Cardona <javier@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Allow userspace to set NL80211_MESHCONF_GATE_ANNOUNCEMENTS attribute,
which will advertise this mesh node as being a mesh gate.
dot11MeshHWMPRootMode must be set as root announcements are used to
indicate we're a mesh gate. Set this if user forgot for now.

Signed-off-by: Javier Cardona <javier@xxxxxxxxxxx>

v2: - make mesh gate a root node
