From e80cf8537ae54ec96c389055d6e9b0ef630c042d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Mon, 11 May 2009 14:43:13 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] cfg80211: disallow interfering with stations on non-AP 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. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Signed-off-by: John W.
