CONSTANTS
WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY
tells us the driver for this device has its own custom regulatory
domain and cannot identify the ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 it belongs to.
When this is enabled we will disregard the first regulatory hint
(when the initiator is REGDOM_SET_BY_CORE).
WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY
tells us the driver for this device will ignore regulatory domain
settings until it gets its own regulatory domain via its
regulatory_hint unless the regulatory hint is from a country IE.
After its gets its own regulatory domain it will only allow further
regulatory domain settings to further enhance compliance. For
example if channel 13 and 14 are disabled by this regulatory domain
no user regulatory domain can enable these channels at a later
time. This can be used for devices which do not have calibration
information guaranteed for frequencies or settings outside of its
regulatory domain. If used in combination with
WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY the inspected country IE power
settings will be followed.
WIPHY_FLAG_DISABLE_BEACON_HINTS
enable this if your driver needs to ensure that passive scan flags
and beaconing flags may not be lifted by cfg80211 due to regulatory
beacon hints. For more information on beacon hints read the
documenation for regulatory_hint_found_beacon
WIPHY_FLAG_NETNS_OK
if not set, do not allow changing the netns of this wiphy at all
WIPHY_FLAG_PS_ON_BY_DEFAULT
if set to true, powersave will be enabled by default -- this flag
will be set depending on the kernel's default on wiphy_new, but can
be changed by the driver if it has a good reason to override the
default
WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_AP
supports 4addr mode even on AP (with a single station on a VLAN
interface)
WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_STATION
supports 4addr mode even as a station
WIPHY_FLAG_CONTROL_PORT_PROTOCOL
This device supports setting the control port protocol ethertype.
The device also honours the control_port_no_encrypt flag.
WIPHY_FLAG_IBSS_RSN
The device supports IBSS RSN.
WIPHY_FLAG_MESH_AUTH
The device supports mesh authentication by routing auth frames to
userspace. See NL80211_MESH_SETUP_USERSPACE_AUTH.
WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_SCHED_SCAN
The device supports scheduled scans.
WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_FW_ROAM
The device supports roaming feature in the firmware.
WIPHY_FLAG_AP_UAPSD
The device supports uapsd on AP.
WIPHY_FLAG_SUPPORTS_TDLS
The device supports TDLS (802.11z) operation.
WIPHY_FLAG_TDLS_EXTERNAL_SETUP
The device does not handle TDLS (802.11z) link setup/discovery
operations internally. Setup, discovery and teardown packets should
be sent through the NL80211_CMD_TDLS_MGMT command. When this flag
is not set, NL80211_CMD_TDLS_OPER should be used for asking the
driver/firmware to perform a TDLS operation.
WIPHY_FLAG_HAVE_AP_SME
device integrates AP SME
WIPHY_FLAG_REPORTS_OBSS
the device will report beacons from other BSSes when there are
virtual interfaces in AP mode by calling
cfg80211_report_obss_beacon.
WIPHY_FLAG_AP_PROBE_RESP_OFFLOAD
When operating as an AP, the device responds to probe-requests in
hardware.
WIPHY_FLAG_OFFCHAN_TX
Device supports direct off-channel TX.
WIPHY_FLAG_HAS_REMAIN_ON_CHANNEL
Device supports remain-on-channel call.
