Subject: [PATCH 2/2] mac80211: enable IBSS merging
Date: Tue, 05 Feb 2008 19:49:49 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080205104949.9379.61874.stgit@one> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080205104543.9379.47253.stgit@one>
enable IBSS cell merging. if an IBSS beacon with the same ESSID and a TSF
higher than the local TSF (mactime) is received, we have to join its BSSID.
* move the relevant code section (previously only containing debug code) down
to the end of the function, so we can reuse the bss structure.
* we have to compare the mactime (TSF at the time of packet receive) rather
than the current TSF.
* in IBSS mode we want to allow beacons to override probe response info so we
can correctly do merges.
* we don't only configure beacons based on scan results, so change that
message.
* to enable all this we have to let all beacons thru in IBSS mode, even if they
have a different BSSID.
