Subject: [PATCH 1/3] cfg80211: Separate available antennas for RX and TX
Date: Thu, 16 Dec 2010 11:30:22 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101216023022.24356.22416.stgit@localhost6.localdomain6> (raw)

As has been pointed out by Daniel Halperin some devices (e.g. Intel IWL5100)
can only TX from a subset of RX antennas, so use separate availability masks
for RX and TX.
