Not exactly. The maximum power in this band depends on whether we are indoor or outdoor. If we are indoor, we are allowed to have 20dBm in th= e whole 2400 - 2454 MHz band and can still use 40MHz bandwidth. Maybe I should describe that different? (2412 - 2483.5 @ 40), (N/A, 20), NO-OUTDOOR (2412 - 2454 @ 40), (N/A, 20), NO-INDOOR (2454 - 2483.5 @ 40) (N/A, 10), NO-INDOOR In fact, this depends on the indoor/outdoor flags issue which can be resolved later. >=20 >> + (2454 - 2483.5 @ 40), (N/A, 10), NO-INDOOR >=20 > Same here. >=20 >> + (5150 - 5250 @ 40), (N/A, 23), NO-OUTDOOR >> + (5250 - 5350 @ 40), (N/A, 23), NO-OUTDOOR, DFS, PASSIVE-SCAN >> + (5470 - 5725 @ 40), (N/A, 30), DFS, PASSIVE-SCAN >=20 > Hm, actually so I had removed PASSIVE-SCAN from all entries > as I had determined that this was only used for DFS purposes. > As you can see in your case both have DFS so I'd leave only DFS. > So essentially we can get rid of these: >=20 > RRF_PASSIVE_SCAN =3D 1<<7, /* passive scan is required= */ > RRF_NO_IBSS =3D 1<<8, /* IBSS is not allowed */ >=20 > What I noted was that PASSIVE-SCAN for example was only used for when > we don't have DFS in STA and NO_IBSS when we don't have DFS in IBSS. >=20 > So we can just stick to DFS flag, unless you are aware of other > considerations for them. Thoughts? If it's documented that the DFS flag implies PASSIVE_SCAN, that's fine with me. >=20 > Luis Regards, Benoit -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFJAAwhOR6EySwP7oIRApcqAKC/+B/fPUu6+8caHOqnA/GwsnGCdwCfcuSR YX46su0CSrQCynR/RQ1CLnM=3D =3D9NM9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireles= s" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
