From 89a54e48b9cbb44aed1bf6cd712e087b96b6ae65 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Fri, 15 Jun 2012 14:33:17 +0200 Subject: nl80211: prepare for non-netdev wireless devs In order to support a P2P device abstraction and Bluetooth high-speed AMPs, we need to have a way to identify virtual interfaces that don't have a netdev associated. Do this by adding a NL80211_ATTR_WDEV attribute to identify a wdev which may or may not also be a netdev. To simplify things, use a 64-bit value with the high 32 bits being the wiphy index for this new wdev identifier in the nl80211 API.
