From 06be6b149f7e406bcf16098567f5a6c9f042bced Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Felix Fietkau Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2013 18:01:00 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: add ieee80211_tx_prepare_skb() helper function This can be used by a driver to prepare skbs for transmission, which were obtained via functions such as ieee80211_probereq_get or ieee80211_nullfunc_get. This is useful for drivers that want to send those frames directly, but need rate control information to be prepared first.
