Subject: [PATCH 6/8] mac80211: Provide ieee80211_beacon_get_template API
Date: Fri, 9 May 2014 14:11:49 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1399633911-12788-7-git-send-email-luca@coelho.fi> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1399633911-12788-1-git-send-email-luca@coelho.fi>
From: Andrei Otcheretianski <andrei.otcheretianski@intel.com>
Add a new API ieee80211_beacon_get_template, which doesn't
affect DTIM counter and should be used if the device generates beacon
frames, and new beacon template is needed. In addition set the offsets
to TIM IE for MESH interface.
