[PATCH v5 2/2] mac80211: Support ht-cap over-rides.

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

 



From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This implements ht-cap over-rides for mac80211 drivers.
HT may be disabled, making an /a/b/g/n station act like an
a/b/g station.  HT40 may be disabled forcing the station to
be HT20 even if the AP and local hardware support HT40.

MAX-AMSDU may be disabled.
AMPDU-Density may be increased.
AMPDU-Factor may be decreased.

This has been successfully tested with ath9k using patched
wpa_supplicant and iw.

Signed-off-by: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

* Remove disable-ht40 option...just modify the ht-cap flags instead.

* Use static for ht-cap-mod-mask struct.
