[RFC 0/4] allow setting HT capabilities per vif

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

 



TI has a card that supports different HT caps according to operating
mode. Allow overriding the per-band HT capabilities in struct wiphy
with HT-caps in the vif, to be set by the driver on the mac80211 callback
add_interface.

The GET_WIPHY command is modified to consider the interface when
advertising HW capabilities to usermode. Luckily, today wpa_s sends
the interface as well so no modifications are required there.

Currently "iw phy" will list a card using this as a 11g card. This
will be addressed at a later date (probably by a new command).

Arik Nemtsov (4):
  nl80211: accept optional netdev in send_wiphy
  cfg80211: support unused HT-cap-per-band configuration
  cfg80211: allow driver to implement HT capabilities per netdev
  mac80211: allow setting HT capabilities per vif
