Subject: [PATCH 2/2] nl80211: export hardware bitrate/channel capabilities
Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 19:38:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080124184358.628076000@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20080124183837.577631000@sipsolutions.net
This makes nl80211 export the hardware bitrate/channel capabilities
as registered in a wiphy.
