From e9f935e3e8dc0bddd0df6d148165d95925422502 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rajkumar Manoharan Date: Sun, 25 Sep 2011 14:53:30 +0530 Subject: [PATCH] nl80211/cfg80211: Add support to disable CCK rate for management frame Add a new nl80211 attribute to specify whether to send the management frames in CCK rate or not. As of now the wpa_supplicant is disabling CCK rate at P2P init itself. So this patch helps to send P2P probe request/probe response/action frames being sent at non CCK rate in 2GHz without disabling 11b rates. This attribute is used with NL80211_CMD_TRIGGER_SCAN and NL80211_CMD_FRAME commands to disable CCK rate for management frame transmission.
