From c65dd1477b6fe5971489dd8b6e28a07ec277fdd6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emmanuel Grumbach Date: Wed, 12 Dec 2012 10:12:24 +0200 Subject: mac80211: inform the driver about update of dtim_period Currently, when the driver requires the DTIM period, mac80211 will wait to hear a beacon before association. This behavior is suboptimal since some drivers may be able to deal with knowing the DTIM period after the association, if they get it at all. To address this, notify the drivers with bss_info_changed with the new BSS_CHANGED_DTIM_PERIOD flag when the DTIM becomes known. This might be when changing to associated, or later when the entire association was done with only probe response information. Rename the hardware flag for the current behaviour to IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_BEFORE_ASSOC to more accurately reflect its behaviour. IEEE80211_HW_NEED_DTIM_PERIOD is no longer accurate as all drivers get the DTIM period now, just not before association.

Remove the flag and code associated with it. The only driver that really actually needed this is wl1251 and it can just do it itself in the hw_scan callback -- implement that.
