From 06f7c88c107fb469f4f1344142e80df5175c6836 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Beni Lev Date: Tue, 19 Jul 2016 19:28:56 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: consider VHT opmode on station update Currently, this attribute is only fetched on station addition, but not on station change. Since this info is only present in the assoc request, with full station state support in the driver it cannot be present when the station is added. Thus, add support for changing the VHT opmode on station update if done before (or while) the station is marked as associated. After this, ignore it, since it used to be ignored.
