From c1288b1278d00169e12495eb53ad128e09560b69 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 19 Jan 2012 09:29:57 +0100 Subject: mac80211: make beacon filtering per virtual interface Due to firmware limitations, we may not be able to support beacon filtering on all virtual interfaces. To allow this in mac80211, introduce per-interface driver capability flags that the driver sets when an interface is added.
