Subject: mac80211: Force beacon update?
Date: Fri, 03 Jul 2009 09:15:42 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A4DB01E.2030408@informatik.uni-kl.de> (raw)
Hi,
I want to attach a custom IE to beacons, but some drivers (like b43)
are fetching their beacons via ieee80211_beacon_get() only once and
retransmit this beacon every time.
Some other drivers (like mac80211_hwsim, ath9k) are calling it
before every beacon transmission.
Is there a general way to make all drivers generate new beacons instead
of caching them or would I have to adapt them?
If adapting drivers is the only way, do you have any suggestions on
how to do that?
Thank you for your answers.
Regards,
Reiner
