[PATCH 2/2] mac80211: Populate radiotap header with MCS info for TX frames

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

 



mac80211 already filled in the MCS rate info for rx'ed frames but tx'ed
frames that are sent to a monitor interface during the status callback
lack this information.

Add the radiotap fields for MCS info to ieee80211_tx_status_rtap_hdr
and populate them when sending tx'ed frames to the monitors.

The needed headroom is only extended by one byte since we don't include
legacy rate information in the rtap header for HT frames.
