[PATCH wireless-next 1/2] wifi: mac80211: Add EMLSR/EMLMR action frame parsing support

Lorenzo Bianconi lorenzo at kernel.org
Thu Jan 22 05:51:33 PST 2026


Introduce support in AP mode for parsing of the Operating Mode Notification
frame sent by the client to enable/disable MLO eMLSR or eMLMR if supported
by both the AP and the client.
