From 74f4903363579d3336c294ebb11f02c8f35845ca Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Larry Finger Date: Tue, 30 May 2006 11:55:42 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [PATCH] wireless: Changes to ieee80211.h for user space regulatory daemon Attached are two small patches for include/net/ieee80211.h to prepare for later submission of code to implement a user-space daemon that supplies 802.11 regulatory information. The first change adds a bit indicating that 802.11h rules are to be applied to a channel. As discussed earlier in this list, a single bit is unlikely to be sufficient; however, at this time I have been unable to find any regulations implementing differences between 802.11a and 802.11h other than DFS, radar detection and passive scanning. A single bit is thus sufficient to convey to the driver that these rules should be obeyed. The second change adds comments to the freq and max_power fields of struct ieee80211_channel to indicate the units that are used. Signed-Off-By: Larry Finger Signed-off-by: John W.
