Subject: [PATCH] wcn36xx: enable the beaconing in mesh mode
Date: Thu, 31 Oct 2013 14:04:09 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1383199449-18310-1-git-send-email-yeohchunyeow@gmail.com> (raw)
Enable the beaconing in wnc36xx by tweaking the tim offset and
force the use of AP-style beaconing. Otherwise, beaconing is not
working. The tim offset is set to 256. Otherwise, this will
overwrite mesh beacon submitted by mac80211.
