[PATCH V2 01/10] nl80211: add basic multiple bssid support

John Crispin john at phrozen.org
Mon Jul 6 07:52:10 EDT 2020


This patch adds support for passing the multiple bssid config to the
kernel when adding an interface. A bss can be legacy, transmitting or
non-transmitting. A non-transmitting BSSID will have a parent interface,
which needs to be transmitting.
