From 65026002d69de006e273749bb799d3b01b757eb0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Emmanuel Grumbach Date: Fri, 18 Aug 2017 15:31:41 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: add an option to allow MFP without requiring it The user space can now allow the kernel to associate to an AP that requires MFP or that doesn't have MFP enabled in the same NL80211_CMD_CONNECT command, by using a new NL80211_MFP_OPTIONAL flag. The driver / firmware will decide whether to use it or not. Include a feature bit to advertise support for NL80211_MFP_OPTIONAL. This allows new user space to run on old kernels and know that it cannot use the new attribute if it isn't supported.
