From ea141b75ae29636b5c9e9d2e2e77b3dd1ab4c934 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Antonio Quartulli Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2013 14:20:03 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: allow sending CMD_FRAME without specifying any frequency Users may want to send a frame on the current channel without specifying it. This is particularly useful for the correct implementation of the IBSS/RSN support in wpa_supplicant which requires to receive and send AUTH frames. Make mgmt_tx pass a NULL channel to the driver if none has been specified by the user.
