From aa430da41019c1694f6a8e3b8bef1d12ed52b0ad Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 16 May 2012 23:50:18 +0200 Subject: cfg80211: provide channel to start_ap function Instead of setting the channel first and then starting the AP, let cfg80211 store the channel and provide it as one of the AP settings. This means that now you have to set the channel before you can start an AP interface, but since hostapd/wpa_supplicant always do that we're OK with this change. Alternatively, it's now possible to give the channel as an attribute to the start-ap nl80211 command, overriding any preset channel. Cc: Kalle Valo Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
