SYNOPSIS

struct ieee80211_iface_combination {
const struct ieee80211_iface_limit * limits;
u32 num_different_channels;
u16 max_interfaces;
u8 n_limits;
bool beacon_int_infra_match;
u8 radar_detect_widths;
u8 radar_detect_regions;
};

MEMBERS

limits

limits for the given interface types

num_different_channels

can use up to this many different channels

max_interfaces

maximum number of interfaces in total allowed in this group

n_limits

number of limitations

beacon_int_infra_match

In this combination, the beacon intervals between infrastructure and AP types must match. This is required only in special cases.

radar_detect_widths

bitmap of channel widths supported for radar detection

radar_detect_regions

bitmap of regions supported for radar detection

DESCRIPTION

With this structure the driver can describe which interface combinations it supports concurrently.

EXAMPLES

   1. Allow #STA <= 1, #AP <= 1, matching BI, channels = 1, 2 total:
    struct ieee80211_iface_limit limits1[] = {
        { .max = 1, .types = BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION), },
        { .max = 1, .types = BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_AP}, },
    };
    struct ieee80211_iface_combination combination1 = {
        .limits = limits1,
        .n_limits = ARRAY_SIZE(limits1),
        .max_interfaces = 2,
        .beacon_int_infra_match = true,
    };
   2. Allow #{AP, P2P-GO} <= 8, channels = 1, 8 total:
    struct ieee80211_iface_limit limits2[] = {
        { .max = 8, .types = BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_AP) |
                             BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_GO), },
    };
    struct ieee80211_iface_combination combination2 = {
        .limits = limits2,
        .n_limits = ARRAY_SIZE(limits2),
        .max_interfaces = 8,
        .num_different_channels = 1,
    };
   3. Allow #STA <= 1, #{P2P-client,P2P-GO} <= 3 on two channels, 4 total.
   This allows for an infrastructure connection and three P2P connections.
    struct ieee80211_iface_limit limits3[] = {
        { .max = 1, .types = BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION), },
        { .max = 3, .types = BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_GO) |
                             BIT(NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_CLIENT), },
    };
    struct ieee80211_iface_combination combination3 = {
        .limits = limits3,
        .n_limits = ARRAY_SIZE(limits3),
        .max_interfaces = 4,
        .num_different_channels = 2,
    };
