Subject: [PATCH 3.13] cfg80211: disable 5/10 MHz support for all drivers
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2013 10:40:55 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1384681255-17152-1-git-send-email-johannes@sipsolutions.net> (raw)

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

Due to nl80211 API breakage, 5/10 MHz support is broken for
all drivers. Fixing it requires adding new API, but that
can't be done as a bugfix commit since that would require
either updating all APIs in the trees needing the bugfix or
cause different kernels to have incompatible API.

Therefore, just disable 5/10 MHz support for all drivers.
