Subject: [PATCH 0/2] modify the inclusion of supported channels IE

The 80211-2012 specification defines in 8.4.2.20 that the supported
channels information element should contain a list of the channel subbands
in which the station is capable to operate. Change the mac80211 implementation
to add all the channels currently enabled by the device (excluding disabled
channels).

Note: the implementation is not complete as it missing an better handling
for subband in bands other than 2.4 GHz.

Any suggestions on how to better handle this?

Thanks in advance :)

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] [RFC] mac80211: Add all enabled channels to the supported channels element

In the current implementation, in case that the AP supports
spectrum management, the supported channels information element added
to the association and re-association frames includes only the channels
that where in the same band as that of the operating channel of the AP.
However, the 80211-2012 specification defines in 8.4.2.20 that the supported
channels information element should contain a list of the channel subbands
in which the station is capable to operate.

Fix this gap by including all the channels enabled by the device
(excluding channels that are marked as disabled).

Subject: [PATCH 2/2 v2] [RFC]mac80211: Add all enabled channels to the supported channels element

In the current implementation, in case that the AP supports
spectrum management, the supported channels information element added
to the association and re-association frames includes only the channels
that where in the same band as that of the operating channel of the AP.
However, the 80211-2012 specification defines in 8.4.2.20 that the supported
channels information element should contain a list of the channel subbands
in which the station is capable to operate.

Fix this gap by include all the channels enabled by the station
(excluding channels that are marked as disabled).

I agree this is very vague - anyone have a good idea who to ask?

As it is now, I'm not sure it's correct at all, even in the version we
have today, since different operating classes could have different
requirements. Especially since we support 5/10 MHz now, I suspect even
ieee80211_frequency_to_channel() really should be taught about operating
classes in some form?

I would prefer you did this with an upper bound rather than the number
of enabled channels - we don't need a good estimate, worst case we'll
allocate a few bytes too many, but if we get it completely wrong e.g.
because the channel flags are being changed, then we could overrun the
SKB allocation, I think?

It'd also be faster to iterate only the bands and add up n_channels
rather than checking each channel's enabled bit.

Seems nicer to do the = 0 here rather than in the loop?

Add a utility function to get the number of channels supported by
the device, and update the places in the code that need this data.
