Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: prevent additions to old station flags API
Date: Thu, 10 May 2012 20:14:43 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1336673683.4334.30.camel@jlt3.sipsolutions.net> (raw)

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

We don't really want/need to maintain the old
station flags API any more, so refuse changes
to new (not yet defined) flags from the old
flags API.

Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
