From e31ae0508315ebf5d8b1b8a1fca8550737fb3996 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sujith Date: Fri, 27 Feb 2009 09:44:00 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Notify the driver only when the beacon interval changes Currently, the driver is unconditionally notified of beacon interval. This is a problem in AP mode, because the driver has to know that the beacon interval has actualy changed to recalculate TBTT and reset the HW TSF. Fix this to make mac80211 notify the driver only when the beacon interval has been reconfigured to a new value. Signed-off-by: Sujith Signed-off-by: John W.
