From 72d7872852e1734e94686012a2e9deade3457329 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arik Nemtsov Date: Thu, 10 May 2012 16:18:26 +0300 Subject: mac80211: allow low-level drivers to set netdev feature bits Low level drivers can now set certain netdev feature bits in netdev_features member of the ieee80211_hw struct. These will be propagated to every netdev created from this HW. The white-listed features currently include only ones related to HW checksumming. Signed-off-by: Arik Nemtsov Signed-off-by: John W.
