From f3fe4e93dd6346c01fd4070ae02ec746fbae73bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sara Sharon Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2016 23:12:11 +0300 Subject: mac80211: add a HW flag for supporting HW TX fragmentation Currently mac80211 determines whether HW does fragmentation by checking whether the set_frag_threshold callback is set or not. However, some drivers may want to set the HW fragmentation capability depending on HW generation. Allow this by checking a HW flag instead of checking the callback.
