McPherson @ 2014-11-04 18:37 UTC (permalink / raw) To: linux-wireless, radiotap-sUITvd46vNxg9hUCZPvPmw Hello all: I was just trying to use the latest stable backports-3.18-rc1-1 and I noticed that there is no longer structure members in the ieee80211_rx_status structure for Vendor namespace information? In my backports 3.14 version I used them to add some register information to the radiotap header in the lab. How does one use the vendor name space without those structure members? Thanks for you assistance Clyde -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

We removed this from the Linux kernel because there was no driver using it and we needed the space for other purposes. That said, it shouldn't be too difficult to put it back by keeping the OUI/subtype also in the skb->data rather than the rx_status (which is now full enough to no longer have space for it, I believe) johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

I did notice that rx_status was getting full. I'll go ahead and put it in skb->data, that's a good idea. Clyde On 11/04/2014 02:47 PM, Johannes Berg wrote: > On Tue, 2014-11-04 at 13:37 -0500, C.

Works for me, and I might actually have a use case for it, but please tell me if you have issues with it. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo-u79uwXL29TY76Z2rM5mHXA@public.gmane.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
