Hi,

I had modified hostapd code to include VHT IEs as part of 11ac changes.
Please review and let me know your comments.

VHT is complicated enough that I think we should take the HW
capabilities (as will be advertised by nl80211) into account more when
configuring this. Hardly anyone will ever be able to come up with a
correct configuration and they shouldn't have to unless overriding
specific things for testing?

And this, of course, is pure heresy. Don't change nl80211.h in hostapd
when you haven't proposed any kernel patches.

Johannes,

That's where even I have the confusion. I will modify to fill it from nl data.

Thanks,
Mahesh

Please read the CONTRIBUTIONS file (*) and use the Signed-hostap: line
with correct format.

I cannot take changes to nl80211_copy.h before they have been included
in the wireless-testing.git include/linux/nl80211.h. If you want to get
the other parts of the 802.11ac changes into hostapd first, it could be
useful to split the patch into two pieces and leave these nl80211
changes waiting for the kernel changes to get approved.

This could be in the same ifdef block with the change below to keep
related entries next to each other.

This new file is added in a separate patch which would result in build
failure if this were to be applied first.. Please add the new file and
the Makefile entry in the same patch.

This should be commented out by default in the example configuration
file.

...

While this style is used with ht_capab, I'm not sure where this is
really the most convenient way for managing the configuration file.. As
such, separate items like vht_max_mpdu_len here could be more
convenient.

These needs to be commented out by default.

The VHT elements are not in the correct location - they should be after
all the non-vendor specific elements in the current implementation
(i.e., after hostapd_eid_roaming_consortium).

Same here for Beacon frame.

That does not match with P802.11ac/D3.0 (196 = Channel Switch Wrapper).
