Subject: [PATCH v2 4/6] cfg80211: support creating wiphy w/out creating wlanX.
Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2014 15:49:36 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1413845378-27837-4-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1413845378-27837-1-git-send-email-greearb@candelatech.com>
From: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com>
This will be helpful when using the mac80211_hwsim
wiphys and automated testing. Let user create the
wlan devs as needed, and named as expected.
