Subject: [PATCH 0/5] TDLS support for nl80211/mac80211 drivers
Date: Mon, 26 Sep 2011 13:54:48 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1317034493-5300-1-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com> (raw)

This series adds basic kernel-mode TDLS support for nl80211 based drivers.
It is based in part on patches by Kalyan C. Gaddam, cc-ed here.

Support is added for peer discovery and data path setup/teardown.
Currently not implemented: QoS/HT, peer PSM, peer U-APSD and channel
switching.

The main change from the RFC series is the addition of a Tx block
during link setup. In the new scheme of things, a STA entry is added
just before setting up a link. This allows us to throw out frames
sent to a peer while the link is being set up. This is required by
the specification, to avoid reordering of MSDUs.

User-mode support is added in a companion series.

Tested with wl12xx hardware, with a nl80211/mac80211 based driver.
