From 034d655ee7b79a2f48ba4c2b620d2864a6e0aa14 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Wed, 27 May 2009 10:35:29 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: disallow interfering with stations on non-AP (part 2) On non-AP interfaces userspace has no business interfering with the station management, this can confuse mac80211 (and other drivers probably wouldn't support it anyway). Allow adding and removing stations only on AP interfaces. (Reconcile this w/ previous version of patch posted with same subject... -- JWL) Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
