There\u0027s one userland API\nchange and one API addition. The API change is that\nnow SET_WIPHY must be called with virtual interface\nindex rather than only wiphy index in order to take\neffect for that interface -- luckily all current\nusers (hostapd) do that. For monitor interfaces, the\nold setting is preserved, but monitors are always\nslaved to other devices anyway so no guarantees.\n\nThe second userland API change is the introduction\nof a per virtual interface SET_CHANNEL command, that\nhostapd should use going forward to make it easier\nto understand what\u0027s going on (it can automatically\ndetect a kernel with this command).\n\nOther than mac80211, no existing cfg80211 drivers\nare affected by this change because they only allow\na single virtual interface.\n\nmac80211, however, now needs to be aware that the\nchannel settings are per interface now, and needs\nto disallow (for now) real multi-channel operation,\nwhich is another important part of this patch.\n\nOne of the immediate benefits is that you can now\nstart hostapd to operate on a hardware that already\nhas a connection on another virtual interface, as\nlong as you specify the same channel.\n\nNote that two things are left unhandled (this is an\nimprovement -- not a complete fix):\n\n * different HT/no-HT modes\n\n currently you could start an HT AP and then\n connect to a non-HT network on the same channel\n which would configure the hardware for no HT;\n that can be fixed fairly easily\n\n * CSA\n\n An AP we\u0027re connected to on a virtual interface\n might indicate switching channels, and in that\n case we would follow it, regardless of how many\n other interfaces are operating; this requires\n more effort to fix but is pretty rare after all\n\nSigned-off-by: Johannes Berg \u003cjohannes@sipsolutions.net\u003e\nSigned-off-by: John W.

Add a simple command to make it possible\nto enable and disable power save via nl80211.\n\nI was also planning about extending the interface, for example adding the\ntimeout value, but after thinking more about this I decided not to do it.\nBasically there were three reasons:\n\nFirstly, the parameters for power save are very much hardware dependent.\nTrying to find a unified interface which would work with all hardware, and\nstill make sense to users, will be very difficult.\n\nSecondly, IEEE 802.11 power save implementation in Linux is still in state\nof flux. We have a long way to still to go and there is no way to predict\nwhat kind of implementation we will have after few years. And because we\nneed to support nl80211 interface a long time, practically forever, adding\nnow parameters to nl80211 might create maintenance problems later on.\n\nThird issue are the users. Power save parameters are mostly used for\ndebugging, so debugfs is better, more flexible, interface for this.\nFor example, wpa_supplicant currently doesn\u0027t configure anything related\nto power save mode. It\u0027s better to strive that kernel can automatically\noptimise the power save parameters, like with help of pm qos network\nand other traffic parameters.\n\nLater on, when we have better understanding of power save, we can extend\nthis command with more features, if there\u0027s a need for that.\n\nSigned-off-by: Kalle Valo \u003ckalle.valo@nokia.com\u003e\nSigned-off-by: John W.

The commands are structured to allow separate\nauthentication and association steps, i.e., the interface between\nkernel and user space is similar to the MLME SAP interface in IEEE\n802.11 standard and an user space application takes the role of the\nSME.\n\nThe patch introduces MLME-AUTHENTICATE.request,\nMLME-{,RE}ASSOCIATE.request, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.request, and\nMLME-DISASSOCIATE.request primitives. The authentication and\nassociation commands request the actual operations in two steps\n(assuming the driver supports this; if not, separate authentication\nstep is skipped; this could end up being a separate \"connect\"\ncommand).\n\nThe initial implementation for mac80211 uses the current\nnet/mac80211/mlme.c for actual sending and processing of management\nframes and the new nl80211 commands will just stop the current state\nmachine from moving automatically from authentication to association.\nFuture cleanup may move more of the MLME operations into cfg80211.\n\nThe goal of this design is to provide more control of authentication and\nassociation process to user space without having to move the full MLME\nimplementation. This should be enough to allow IEEE 802.11r FT protocol\nand 802.11s SAE authentication to be implemented. Obviously, this will\nalso bring the extra benefit of not having to use WEXT for association\nrequests with mac80211. An example implementation of a user space SME\nusing the new nl80211 commands is available for wpa_supplicant.\n\nThis patch is enough to get IEEE 802.11r FT protocol working with\nover-the-air mechanism (over-the-DS will need additional MLME\nprimitives for handling the FT Action frames).\n\nSigned-off-by: Jouni Malinen \u003cj@w1.fi\u003e\nSigned-off-by: John W.
