From 13ae75b103e07304a34ab40c9136e9f53e06475c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2009 12:59:45 +0200 Subject: nl80211: New command for setting TX rate mask for rate control Add a new NL80211_CMD_SET_TX_BITRATE_MASK command and related attributes to provide support for setting TX rate mask for rate control. This uses the existing cfg80211 set_bitrate_mask operation that was previously used only with WEXT compat code (SIOCSIWRATE). The nl80211 command allows more generic configuration of allowed rates as a mask instead of fixed/max rate. Signed-off-by: Jouni Malinen Acked-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
