Subject: [PATCH] nl80211: Try running without mgmt frame subscription (driver

One of supported code paths already allows this scenario. It is used if
|
||||
driver doesn't report NL80211_ATTR_DEVICE_AP_SME and doesn't support
|
||||
monitor interface. In such situation:
|
||||
1) We don't quit if subscribing for WLAN_FC_STYPE_PROBE_REQ fails
|
||||
2) We don't try subscribing for WLAN_FC_STYPE_ACTION
|
||||
3) We fallback to AP SME mode after failing to create monitor interface
|
||||
4) We don't quit if subscribing for WLAN_FC_STYPE_PROBE_REQ fails
|
||||
Above scenario is used, e.g., with brcmfmac. As you can see - thanks to
|
||||
events provided by cfg80211 - it's not really required to receive Probe
|
||||
Request or action frames.
|
||||
|
||||
However, the previous implementation did not allow using hostapd with
|
||||
drivers that:
|
||||
1) Report NL80211_ATTR_DEVICE_AP_SME
|
||||
2) Don't support subscribing for PROBE_REQ and/or ACTION frames
|
||||
In case of using such a driver hostapd will cancel setup after failing
|
||||
to subscribe for WLAN_FC_STYPE_ACTION. I noticed it after setting flag
|
||||
WIPHY_FLAG_HAVE_AP_SME in brcmfmac driver for my experiments.
|
||||
|
||||
This patch allows working with such drivers with just a small warning
|
||||
printed as debug message.
