mac80211: copy configured beacon tx rate to driver

2020-10-08T10:26:35+00:00

The user is allowed to change beacon tx rate (HT/VHT/HE) from hostapd. This information needs to be passed to the driver when the rate control is offloaded to the firmware. The driver capability of allowing beacon rate is already validated in cfg80211, so simply passing the rate information to the driver is enough.

mac80211: handle lack of sband->bitrates in rates

2020-10-08T08:33:54+00:00

Even though a driver or mac80211 shouldn't produce a legacy bitrate if sband->bitrates doesn't exist, don't crash if that is the case either. This fixes a kernel panic if station dump is run before last_rate can be updated with a data frame when sband->bitrates is missing (eg. in S1G bands).

mac80211: support S1G association

2020-09-28T12:09:07+00:00

The changes required for associating in S1G are: - apply S1G BSS channel info before assoc - mark all S1G STAs as QoS STAs - include and parse AID request element - handle new Association Response format - don't fail assoc if supported rates element is missing Signed-off-by: Thomas Pedersen Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20200922022818.15855-15-thomas@adapt-ip.com [pass skb to ieee80211_add_aid_request_ie(), remove unused variable 'bss'] Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

mac80211: Unsolicited broadcast probe response support

2020-09-18T12:06:20+00:00

This patch adds mac80211 support to configure unsolicited broadcast probe response transmission for in-band discovery in 6GHz. Changes include functions to store and retrieve probe response template, and packet interval (0 - 20 TUs). Setting interval to 0 disables the unsolicited broadcast probe response transmission.

cfg80211: invert HE BSS color 'disabled' to 'enabled'

2020-07-31T07:27:02+00:00

This is in fact 'disabled' in the spec, but there it's in a place where that actually makes sense. In our internal data structures, it doesn't really make sense, and in fact the previous commit just fixed a bug in that area. Make this safer by inverting the polarity from 'disabled' to 'enabled'.
