From a619a4c0e1fd4e8c360c63d0df3fa0a401107d69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Juuso Oikarinen Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2010 08:50:18 +0200 Subject: mac80211: Add function to get probe request template for current AP Chipsets with hardware based connection monitoring need to autonomically send directed probe-request frames to the AP (in the event of beacon loss, for example.) For the hardware to be able to do this, it requires a template for the frame to transmit to the AP, filled in with the BSSID and SSID of the AP, but also the supported rate IE's. This patch adds a function to mac80211, which allows the hardware driver to fetch this template after association, so it can be configured to the hardware.
