Subject: [PATCH 0/3] AP mode channel setting simplification
Date: Fri, 11 May 2012 10:34:13 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20120511083413.778117363@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
Ath6kl stores the channel, while mac80211 tries to
immediately apply it. The latter isn't great for
multi-channel.
Change cfg80211 to store the channel, and give it
to the driver (mac80211, ath6kl, etc.) only in the
start_ap() function.
This simplifies ath6kl a lot, and while it doesn't
make a difference to mac80211 today I think it'll
make it simpler to implement multi-channel.
