From bdd90d5e36a55271beb957b3d7ca3e29b2a90207 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 14 Dec 2011 12:20:27 +0100 Subject: cfg80211: validate nl80211 station handling better The nl80211 station handling code is a bit messy and doesn't do a lot of validation. It seems like this could be an issue for drivers that don't use mac80211 to validate everything. As cfg80211 doesn't keep station state, move the validation of allowing supported_rates to change for TDLS only in station mode to mac80211. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
