From 8eb41c8dfb9e2396d2452ada9023a83d610b9051 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vladimir Kondratiev Date: Thu, 5 Jul 2012 14:25:49 +0300 Subject: {nl,cfg}80211: support high bitrates Until now, a u16 value was used to represent bitrate value. With VHT bitrates this becomes too small. Introduce a new 32-bit bitrate attribute. nl80211 will report both the new and the old attribute, unless the bitrate doesn't fit into the old u16 attribute in which case only the new one will be reported. User space tools encouraged to prefer the 32-bit attribute, if available (since it won't be available on older kernels.)
