Subject: [PATCH v2 resend] cfg80211: disallow interfering with stations on non-AP
Date: Wed, 27 May 2009 10:35:29 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1243413329.26933.2.camel@johannes.local> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1242045793.26810.0.camel@johannes.local>

On non-AP interfaces userspace has no business interfering with
the station management, this can confuse mac80211 (and other
drivers probably wouldn't support it anyway). Allow adding and
removing stations only on AP interfaces.
