From a08c1c1ac0c26229ca1ca45d554b209a56edc8be Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kalle Valo Date: Sun, 22 Mar 2009 21:57:28 +0200 Subject: cfg80211: add feature to hold bss In beacon filtering there needs to be a way to not expire the BSS even when no beacons are received. Add an interface to cfg80211 to hold BSS and make sure that it's not expired. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: John W.
