From 8f20542386c57bc5f40a09e38d2772d84c0b2afa Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 18 Oct 2016 10:28:57 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] wireless: deprecate WDS and disable by default The old WDS 4-addr frame support is very limited, e.g. * no encryption is possible on such links * it cannot support rate/HT/VHT negotiation * management APIs are very restricted These make the WDS legacy mode useless in practice. All of these are resolved by the 4-addr AP/client support, so there's also no reason to improve WDS in the future. Therefore, add a Kconfig option to disable legacy WDS. This gives people an "emergency valve" while they migrate to the better-supported 4-addr AP/client option; we plan to remove it (and the associated cfg80211/mac80211 code, which is the ultimate goal) in the future.
