From f4263c9857e6411ef2388868cc6c79a1602a654e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Stewart Date: Thu, 31 Mar 2011 09:25:41 -0700 Subject: nl80211: Add BSS parameters to station This allows user-space monitoring of BSS parameters for the associated station. This is useful for debugging and verifying that the paramaters are as expected.
