cfg80211: add P2P Device abstraction 2012-08-20T11:58:21+00:00 Johannes Berg johannes.berg@intel.com 2012-06-15T22:19:54+00:00 98104fdeda63d57631c9f89e90a7b83b58fcee40 In order to support using a different MAC address for the P2P Device address we must first have a P2P Device abstraction that can be assigned a MAC address. This abstraction will also be useful to support offloading P2P operations to the device, e.g. periodic listen for discoverability. Currently, the driver is responsible for assigning a MAC address to the P2P Device, but this could be changed by allowing a MAC address to be given to the NEW_INTERFACE command. As it has no associated netdev, a P2P Device can only be identified by its wdev identifier but the previous patches allowed using the wdev identifier in various APIs, e.g. remain-on-channel.

cfg80211: add cellular base station regulatory hint support 2012-07-17T10:16:39+00:00 Luis R.

This can be done for example on a cell phone. To enable these hints we simply allow them through as user regulatory hints but we allow userspace to clasify the hint as either coming directly from the user or coming from a cellular base station. This option is only available when you enable CONFIG_CFG80211_CERTIFICATION_ONUS. The base station hints themselves will not be processed by the core unless at least one device on the system supports this feature. Signed-off-by: Luis R.
