Subject: [RFC V4 0/2] nl80211: allow configuration of BSS selection
Date: Tue, 26 Jan 2016 14:06:30 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1453813592-5266-1-git-send-email-arend@broadcom.com> (raw)

This patch series adds support for configuration of BSS selection done by
the driver and/or firmware. It allows user-space to pass selection behaviour
with the NL80211_CMD_CONNECT using NL80211_ATTR_BSS_SELECT. When user-space
does provide this attribute and no explicit BSSID is provided it will pass
the BSS selection behaviour to the driver if the driver supports it.

When multiple BSS-es are found belonging to the same ESS, ie. Infra-BSS with
same SSID, this can be used to select a BSS. The behaviours defined are:

1. RSSI based selection.
2. Band selection, RSSI based selection.
3. RSSI adjustment in given band, RSSI based selection.

V2:
 - incorporate comments from Johannes Berg (may have missed some).
 - split nl80211 patch in two separate patches.

V3:
 - remove enum nl80211_bss_select_primitive.
 - reword documentation of nl80211_bss_select_attr enum values.

V4:
 - remove documentation reference to removed primitive.
