From c063dbf52b998b852122dff07a8b8dd430b38437 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 24 Nov 2010 08:10:05 +0100 Subject: cfg80211: allow using CQM event to notify packet loss This adds the ability for drivers to use CQM events to notify about packet loss for specific stations (which could be the AP for the managed mode case). Since the threshold might be determined by the driver (it isn't passed in right now) it will be passed out of the driver to userspace in the event. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
