From 9f1ba9062e032fb7b395cd27fc564754fe4e9867 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2008 20:07:01 +0300 Subject: mac80211/cfg80211: Add BSS configuration options for AP mode This change adds a new cfg80211 command, NL80211_CMD_SET_BSS, to allow AP mode BSS parameters to be changed from user space (e.g., hostapd). The drivers using mac80211 are expected to be modified with separate changes to use the new BSS info parameter for short slot time in the bss_info_changed() handler.
