From 87bbbe22f84b91d0bcd3a7fc638e4f5e8224cc4e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arik Nemtsov Date: Thu, 10 Nov 2011 11:28:55 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: Add probe response offload attribute Notify user-space about probe-response offloading support in the driver. A wiphy flag is used to indicate support and a bitmap of protocols determines which protocols are supported. Signed-off-by: Guy Eilam Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov Signed-off-by: John W.
