Subject: [PATCH v3] iw: Add ibss join parameter for beacon interval
Date: Wed, 27 Oct 2010 15:02:37 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101027060237.30291.48316.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)
NL80211_ATTR_BEACON_INTERVAL already exists, we just have to use it.
Signed-off-by: Bruno Randolf <br1@einfach.org>
--
v3: add minimal error checking
v2: rename from 'bintval' to 'beacon-interval' and use correct units (TU)
