[PATCH v2 0/8] Regulatory and ath9k support for ITS-G5 band (5.9 GHz)

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

 



This patch series is another attempt to mainline support for ITS-G5
band (5.9 GHz) designated for Intelligent Transportation Systems.

Based on the discussion with Jouni [1], this version adds the
following restrictions for using the band:

1. Custom reg db must be provided by the user.
2. CONFIG_CFG80211_REG_ITSG5_BAND must be enabled.
3. The band is restricted to OCB mode. I.e. beaconing and scanning is
   disabled.

Patches 1-3 do some refactoring and cleanup. They are independent of
the rest of the series. Patches 4-7 add regulatory support (mainly the
points mentioned above) and finally patch 8 adds support for ITS-G5 to
the ath9k driver.
