Subject: [PATCH V2 5/9] nl80211: remove desciption about request from NL80211_CMD_ROAM
Date: Wed,  3 May 2017 11:42:10 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1493808134-4074-6-git-send-email-arend.vanspriel@broadcom.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1493808134-4074-1-git-send-email-arend.vanspriel@broadcom.com>

The description of NL80211_CMD_ROAM indicated possibility for a
request to roam issued by user-space. However, it also states that
as not being implemented right now. This has been so since commit
b23aa676ab9d ("cfg80211: connect/disconnect API") added in 2009.
So it seems safe to assume it will not be added any time soon and
thus remove it.
