Subject: [PATCH v2] cfg80211: add flags for off-channel capabilities
Date: Fri, 18 Nov 2011 09:52:03 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1321606323.10266.0.camel@jlt3.sipsolutions.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1321522773.3997.3.camel@jlt3.sipsolutions.net> (sfid-20111117_103942_138938_A7896DED)
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Currently mac80211 implements these for all devices,
but given restrictions of some devices that isn't
really true, so prepare for being able to remove the
capability for some mac80211 devices.
