From c6e6a0c8be575c830a97b1942dabeab70f423fe0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Aviya Erenfeld Date: Tue, 5 Jul 2016 15:23:08 +0300 Subject: nl80211: Add API to support VHT MU-MIMO air sniffer add API to support VHT MU-MIMO air sniffer. in MU-MIMO there are parallel frames on the air while the HW has only one RX. add the capability to sniff one of the MU-MIMO parallel frames by giving the sniffer additional information so it'll know which of the parallel frames it shall follow. Add attribute - NL80211_ATTR_MU_MIMO_GROUP_DATA - for getting a MU-MIMO groupID in order to monitor packets from that group using VHT MU-MIMO. And add attribute -NL80211_ATTR_MU_MIMO_FOLLOW_ADDR - for passing MAC address to monitor mode. that option will be used by VHT MU-MIMO air sniffer to follow a station according to it's MAC address using VHT MU-MIMO.
