Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: add ieee80211_get_operstate() function
Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2011 12:59:29 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1307354369-32612-1-git-send-email-eliad@wizery.com> (raw)
Add ieee80211_get_operstate() function to get the operstate
of the netdevice.
This is needed for drivers that need to know when the interface
is IF_OPER_UP (e.g. wl12xx), and block notifiers can't be used
(e.g. because the interface is already IF_OPER_UP, like after
resuming from suspend)
