Subject: cfg80211: Add nl80211 event for deletion of a station entry
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ec15e68ba6a505631016f230899bafbb7b8cd0d6;p=linux-beck.git

cfg80211: Add nl80211 event for deletion of a station entry

Indicate an NL80211_CMD_DEL_STATION event when a station entry in
mac80211 is deleted to match with the NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION event
that is used when the entry was added. This is needed, e.g., to allow
user space to remove a peer from RSN IBSS Authenticator state machine
to avoid re-authentication and re-keying delays when the peer is not
reachable anymore.
