mac80211: fix 80 MHz association to 160/80+80 AP on 6 GHz

2020-09-18T12:01:24+00:00

When trying to associate to an AP support 180 or 80+80 MHz on 6 GHz with a STA that only has 80 Mhz support the cf2 field inside the chandef will get set causing the association to fail when trying to validate the chandef. Fix this by checking the support flags prior to setting cf2.

Replace the existing /* fall through */ comments and its variants with the new pseudo-keyword macro fallthrough[1]. Also, remove unnecessary fall-through markings when it is the case.

mac80211: fix warning in 6 GHz IE addition in mesh mode

2020-07-30T08:20:37+00:00

The commit 24a2042cb22f ("mac80211: add HE 6 GHz Band Capability element") failed to check device capability before adding HE 6 GHz capability element. Below warning is reported in 11ac device in mesh. Fix that by checking device capability at HE 6 GHz cap IE addition in mesh beacon and association request.

mac80211: determine chandef from HE 6 GHz operation

2020-05-31T09:26:52+00:00

Support connecting to HE 6 GHz APs and mesh networks on 6 GHz, where the HT/VHT information is missing but instead the HE 6 GHz band capability is present, and the 6 GHz Operation information field is used to encode the channel configuration instead of the HT/VHT operation elements. Also add some other bits needed to connect to 6 GHz networks.

mac80211: avoid using ext NSS high BW if not supported

2020-05-31T09:26:50+00:00

If the AP advertises inconsistent data, namely it has CCFS1 or CCFS2, but doesn't advertise support for 160/80+80 bandwidth or "Extended NSS BW Support", then we cannot use any MCSes in the the higher bandwidth. Thus, avoid connecting with higher bandwidth since it's less efficient that way.
