Subject: [PATCH v2] carl9170: advertise interface combinations
Date: Sat, 14 May 2011 02:42:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <201105140242.38763.chunkeey@googlemail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1305330515.680.4.camel@jlt3.sipsolutions.net>
In order to provide multiple interfaces for a single device,
the driver will be required to advertise all possible
interface configurations to the stack.

v1 -> v2
fix commit log - currently there's no restriction, yet!
drop IBSS from the combination lists
iw now says this:
Supported interface modes:
* IBSS
* managed
* AP
* AP/VLAN
* monitor
* P2P-client
* P2P-GO
software interface modes (can always be added):
* AP/VLAN
* monitor
valid interface combinations:
* #{ managed, AP, P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 2,
total <= 2, #channels <= 1
[mesh can be added at any time, question is: will it make sense... in fact, does
it make sense to have multiple STAs/P2P-client either, think of
DFS & TSF sync problems 11.1.1.1?]
