Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: Parse channel_type in NL80211_CMD_JOIN_IBSS

This field is filled by iw and parse by cfg80211 before being sent to
mac80211 for instance. This information is needed to properly configure
an HT IBSS.

It requires a patch to iw to fill this field.

Hi Luis,

It's because the check is already done in rdev_freq_to_chan.

Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: Add HT IE to IBSS beacons and probe responses.

When an HT IBSS is configured, we add HT Information and HT Capabilities
IE to beacon & probe responses. This is done according to channel_type
transmitted by iw/cfg80211.

I meant the skb that is produced here and stored in ifibss->presp is
then used both for sending beacons in ieee80211_beacon_get_tim and for
sending probe response in ieee80211_rx_mgmt_probe_req

You are right : I will add a helper function to create HT Capability IE.

That change is wrong -- no way beacon code can call into IBSS code.

I think you meant to say "I need to create a common helper function that
I call here and in the beacon code."

And this is an unrelated change that doesn't belong into this patch at
all.

Do you mean creating an ht40+ over channel 112, where only ht40- is
allowed by 802.11 ? Since it's the same for AP & IBSS, maybe it could be
done in the regulatory code?

Anyway, since this latter issue was already there for a while, it could
be fixed in a follow up patch.

Why is the disabled channel check being removed here?

When configuring an HT IBSS, we need to check if the specified channel
is capable of ht40+, ht40- or ht20.

Right. Will repost a single patch including both.

Just noticed something else -- this allows creating an HT40 IBSS on an
invalid channel pair -- do we want to catch that?
