From 7f6cf311a594c1e7ca8120367dd1d4c685aabff1 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 4 Nov 2011 11:18:15 +0100 Subject: nl80211: add API to probe a client When the AP SME in hostapd is used it wants to probe the clients when they have been idle for some time. Add explicit API to support this. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
