cfg80211: allow wiphy specific regdomain management 2014-12-17T10:49:55+00:00 Jonathan Doron jond@wizery.com 2014-12-15T17:26:00+00:00 b0d7aa59592b4270531de5ce65dcf18338a2d98c Add a new regulatory flag that allows a driver to manage regdomain changes/updates for its own wiphy. A self-managed wiphys only employs regulatory information obtained from the FW and driver and does not use other cfg80211 sources like beacon-hints, country-code IEs and hints from other devices on the same system. Conversely, a self-managed wiphy does not share its regulatory hints with other devices in the system. If a system contains several devices, one or more of which are self-managed, there might be contradictory regulatory settings between them. Usage of flag is generally discouraged. Only use it if the FW/driver is incompatible with non-locally originated hints. A new API lets the driver send a complete regdomain, to be applied on its wiphy only. After a wiphy-specific regdomain change takes place, usermode will get a new type of change notification.

cfg80211: 802.11p OCB mode handling 2014-11-04T12:18:17+00:00 Rostislav Lisovy lisovy@gmail.com 2014-11-03T09:33:18+00:00 6e0bd6c35b021dc73a81ebd1ef79761233c48b50 This patch adds new iface type (NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB) representing the OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) mode. When establishing a connection to the network a cfg80211_join_ocb function is called (particular nl80211_command is added as well). A mandatory parameters during the ocb_join operation are 'center frequency' and 'channel width (5/10 MHz)'. Changes done in mac80211 are minimal possible required to avoid many warnings (warning: enumeration value 'NL80211_IFTYPE_OCB' not handled in switch) during compilation. Full functionality (where needed) is added in the following patch. Signed-off-by: Rostislav Lisovy <rostislav.lisovy@fel.cvut.cz> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
