4208ce6b51 [net80211] add VHT action frame placeholders for when it's time to implement. 2017-01-10 07:21:07 +00:00

b2805753eb [net80211] create a helper function to calculate the station facing VHT capabilities.
This is needed for two reasons:

* Drivers will need to know what the negotiated set of VHT capabilities
  and rates are in order to configure (and reconfigure for opmode/chanwidth
  changes) how to speak to a given peer; and
* Because some vendors are "special", we should be careful in what we announce
  to them during peer association.

This isn't the complete solution, as I still need to make sure that when
sending out probe requests before we know what we want, we don't limit
the capabilities being announced.  This is important for IBSS/mesh work
later on as probe request/response exchanges are the first hint at what
a peer supports.  I'll look at adding that to the API soon.

8307d427bf [net80211] use the correct freq2 field when populating VHT operation element.
Whilst here, leave a TODO comment so I revisit this routine in the context
of hostap operation probe requests for IBSS/mesh.

a7fced93a1 [net80211] Add initial VHT support routines.
This is a skeleton set based on ieee80211_ht.c.  It implements some IE
parsing, some basic unfinished negotiation, and channel promotion/demotion.

However, by itself it's not enough to do VHT - notably, the actual
channel promotion for STA mode at least is done in ieee80211_ht.c as
part of htinfo_update_chw().  I was .. quite amused when I found that
out.

I'm checking this in so others can see progress rather than one huge
commit when VHT is "done" (which will likely be quite a while.)
