From 81077e82c3f591578625805dd6464a27a9ff56ec Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: =?UTF-8?q?Luk=C3=A1=C5=A1=20Turek?= <8an@praha12.net> Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2009 22:50:47 +0100 Subject: nl80211: Add new WIPHY attribute COVERAGE_CLASS The new attribute NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_COVERAGE_CLASS sets IEEE 802.11 Coverage Class, which depends on maximum distance of nodes in a wireless network. It's required for long distance links (more than a few hundred meters). The attribute is now ignored by two non-mac80211 drivers, rndis and iwmc3200wifi, together with WIPHY_PARAM_RETRY_SHORT and WIPHY_PARAM_RETRY_LONG. If it turns out to be a problem, we could split set_wiphy_params callback or add new capability bits. Signed-off-by: Lukas Turek <8an@praha12.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
