Subject: [RFC V2 0/3] nl80211: allow configuration of BSS selection
Date: Wed, 13 Jan 2016 10:49:40 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1452678583-20086-1-git-send-email-arend@broadcom.com> (raw)
This patch series adds support for configuration of BSS selection done by
the driver and/or firmware. It allows user-space to pass selection criteria
with the NL80211_CMD_CONNECT using NL80211_ATTR_BSS_SELECT. When user-space
does provide this attribute and no explicit BSSID is provided it will pass
the BSS selection criteria to the driver if the driver supports it.
When multiple BSS-es are found belonging to the same ESS, ie. Infra-BSS with
same SSID, the criteria can be used to select a BSS. The criteria defined are:
1. RSSI based selection.
2. Band selection, RSSI based selection.
3. RSSI adjustment in given band, RSSI based selection.
V2:
- incorporate comments from Johannes Berg (may have missed some).
- split nl80211 patch in two separate patches.
Arend van Spriel (3):
nl80211: add extended feature for BSS selection support
nl80211: add bss selection attribute to CONNECT command
brcmfmac: add support for nl80211 BSS_SELECT feature
