Subject: [PATCHv2 13/16] mac80211: 802.11w - Add driver capability flag for MFP
Date: Thu, 08 Jan 2009 13:32:11 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090108113409.609264287@atheros.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: 20090108113158.681894124@atheros.com

This allows user space to determine whether a driver supports MFP and
behave properly without having to ask user to configure this in
MFP-optional mode.
