mac80211: only create default STA interface if supported
Drivers will support this, obviously, but this forces them to set it up properly. (This includes the fix posted as "mac80211: fix ifmodes check" and tested in wireless-testing by Hin-Tak and others. -- JWL) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Reported-by: Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net> Tested-by: Hin-Tak Leung <htl10@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: John W.
