Subject: [RFC 0/5] TDLS support for nl80211/mac80211 drivers
Date: Thu, 15 Sep 2011 13:25:29 +0300
Message-Id: <1316082334-7664-1-git-send-email-arik@wizery.com> (sfid-20110915_122546_760971_6A6DA1DF)
Sender: linux-wireless-owner@vger.kernel.org

This series adds basic kernel-mode TDLS support for nl80211 based drivers.
It is based in part on patches by Kalyan C. Gaddam, cc-ed here.

Support is added for peer discovery and data path setup/teardown. More
advanced features are not implemented. These include QoS/HT, peer PSM,
peer U-APSD and channel switching.

Notably, this patch-set does not include locking in the data path,
to switch between AP-based and direct Tx during link setup/tear-down.
This will be added by a later patch-set, if/when this series is
accepted. In practice it seems to work quite well without additional
locking.

User-mode support is added in a companion series.

Tested with wl12xx hardware, with a nl80211/mac80211 based driver.

Comments/reviews are welcome.
