From 08e6effa1187cc5f401a1cc286ce84f0a581b35a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2013 23:33:32 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: disable HT/VHT if AP has no HT/VHT capability Having HT/VHT operation IEs but not capability IEs leads to a strange situation where we configure the channel to an HT or VHT bandwidth and then can't actually use it. Prevent this by checking that the HT and VHT capability IEs are present as well as the operation IEs; if not, disable HT and/or VHT.
