From: Arik Nemtsov Date: Mon, 31 Jan 2011 20:29:13 +0000 (+0200) Subject: mac80211: add HW flag for disabling auto link-PS in AP mode X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d057e5a381cbaec5632117bf62ba49438ab16214;p=linux-beck.git mac80211: add HW flag for disabling auto link-PS in AP mode When operating in AP mode the wl1271 hardware filters out null-data packets as well as management packets. This makes it impossible for mac80211 to monitor the PS mode by using the PM bit of incoming frames. Implement a HW flag to indicate that mac80211 should ignore the PM bit. In addition, expose ieee80211_sta_ps_transition() to make low-level drivers capable of controlling PS-mode. Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov Signed-off-by: John W.
