[RFC PATCH v1 0/3] mac80211: beacon filtering

[Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@nokia.com>]

Here's my suggestion how to implement beacon filtering in mac80211.
The basic idea is simple, the driver enables filtering is whenever
mac80211 enables power save. Driver calls ieee80211_beacon_loss()
whenever hardware informs about beacon loss.

I have tested this with stlc45xx and based on simple tests this seems
to work. For reference I'll send stlc45xx patch as a followup.

TODO: 

o API documentation
o test with different hardwares (without beacon filtering) to 
  avoid regressions

Kalle Valo (3):
      mac80211: add beacon filtering support
      mac80211: track beacons separately from the rx path activity
      mac80211: decrease execution of the associated timer
