From 026331c4d9b526561ea96f95fac4bfc52b69e316 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jouni Malinen Date: Mon, 15 Feb 2010 12:53:10 +0200 Subject: cfg80211/mac80211: allow registering for and sending action frames This implements a new command to register for action frames that userspace wants to handle instead of the in-kernel rejection. It is then responsible for rejecting ones that it decided not to handle. There is no unregistration, but the socket can be closed for that. Frames that are not registered for will not be forwarded to userspace and will be rejected by the kernel, the cfg80211 API helps implementing that. Additionally, this patch adds a new command that allows doing action frame transmission from userspace. It can be used either to exchange action frames on the current operational channel (e.g., with the AP with which we are currently associated) or to exchange off-channel Public Action frames with the remain-on-channel command.

Add a simple command to make it possible to enable and disable power save via nl80211. I was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the timeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it. Basically there were three reasons: Firstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent. Trying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and still make sense to users, will be very difficult. Secondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state of flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict what kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we need to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding now parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on. Third issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for debugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this. For example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn't configure anything related to power save mode. It's better to strive that kernel can automatically optimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network and other traffic parameters. Later on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend this command with more features, if there's a need for that. Signed-off-by: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: John W.
