nl80211: report BSS status
When connected to a BSS, or joined to an IBSS, we'll want to know in userspace without using wireless extensions, so report the BSS status in the BSS list. Userspace can query the BSS list, display all the information and retrieve the station information as well. For example (from hwsim): $ iw dev wlan1 scan dump BSS 02:00:00:00:00:00 (on wlan1) -- associated freq: 2462 beacon interval: 100 capability: ESS ShortSlotTime (0x0401) signal: -50.00 dBm SSID: j Supported rates: 1.0* 2.0* 5.5* 11.0* 6.0 9.0 12.0 18.0 DS Paramater set: channel 11 ERP: <no flags> Extended supported rates: 24.0 36.0 48.0 54.0 Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
