[RFC 1/6] mac80211: introduce channel contexts skeleton code

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

 



Channel context are the foundation for
multi-channel operation.

Channel contexts are immutable and are re-created
(or re-used if other interfaces are bound to a
certain channel) on channel switching.

This is a initial implementation and more features
will come in separate patches for easier review.
