The code is probably fine, but on its own the patch is wrong, so we
shouldn't merge it.

Well shouldn't you only advertise HT if the user or somebody actually
asked to join an HT IBSS and you configured the right channel type?

There are things :
- HT Capabilities IE : this should be the hardware capabilities of the 
sender, be it a member of a HT IBSS or not.
- HT Information IE : this should be the BSS information, shared by all 
members of the HT IBSS I think.

BTW, currently, there is no way with iw for the user to tell mac82011 to 
join/create a non-HT, HT20, HT40+ or HT40- IBSS. Maybe we should update 
iw first as a requirement for HT IBSS?

Benoit

I wouldn't advertise that though when the IBSS we want is not HT. Less
confusion that way.

So we even need to adopt it, maybe?

Indeed, we need nl80211/cfg80211 changes.

[PATCH] cfg80211: Parse channel_type in NL80211_CMD_JOIN_IBSS

[Benoit Papillault]

This field is filled by iw and parse by cfg80211 before being sent to
mac80211 for instance. This information is needed to properly configure
an HT IBSS.

It requires a patch to iw to fill this field.

That change is wrong -- no way beacon code can call into IBSS code.

I think you meant to say "I need to create a common helper function that
I call here and in the beacon code."

And this is an unrelated change that doesn't belong into this patch at

Hi Luis,

It's because the check is already done in rdev_freq_to_chan.

I meant the skb that is produced here and stored in ifibss->presp is 
then used both for sending beacons in ieee80211_beacon_get_tim and for 
sending probe response in ieee80211_rx_mgmt_probe_req

You are right : I will add a helper function to create HT Capability IE.

Just noticed something else -- this allows creating an HT40 IBSS on an
invalid channel pair -- do we want to catch that?

Do you mean creating an ht40+ over channel 112, where only ht40- is 
allowed by 802.11 ? Since it's the same for AP & IBSS, maybe it could be 
done in the regulatory code?

Anyway, since this latter issue was already there for a while, it could 
be fixed in a follow up patch.

Benoit

[PATCH] mac80211: Add HT IE to IBSS beacons and probe responses

[Benoit Papillault]

When an HT IBSS is configured, we add HT Capabilities and HT Operation
IE to beacons and probe responses. This is done according to
channel_type transmitted by iw/cfg80211.

Didn't you just do this in the first patch??
