From: Lukáš Turek <8an@praha12.net> Date: Mon, 21 Dec 2009 21:50:47 +0000 (+0100) Subject: nl80211: Add new WIPHY attribute COVERAGE_CLASS X-Git-Tag: v2.6.34-rc1~233^2~556^2~129 X-Git-Url: http://git.openpandora.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=81077e82c3f591578625805dd6464a27a9ff56ec;p=pandora-kernel.git nl80211: Add new WIPHY attribute COVERAGE_CLASS The new attribute NL80211_ATTR_WIPHY_COVERAGE_CLASS sets IEEE 802.11 Coverage Class, which depends on maximum distance of nodes in a wireless network. It's required for long distance links (more than a few hundred meters). The attribute is now ignored by two non-mac80211 drivers, rndis and iwmc3200wifi, together with WIPHY_PARAM_RETRY_SHORT and WIPHY_PARAM_RETRY_LONG. If it turns out to be a problem, we could split set_wiphy_params callback or add new capability bits. Signed-off-by: Lukas Turek <8an@praha12.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
