From: Eliad Peller Date: Mon, 6 Jun 2011 09:59:29 +0000 (+0300) Subject: mac80211: add ieee80211_get_operstate() function X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1d34d108e07680e2c07847d5e69a334cb4f96ab3;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git mac80211: add ieee80211_get_operstate() function Add ieee80211_get_operstate() function to get the operstate of the netdevice. This is needed for drivers that need to know when the interface is IF_OPER_UP (e.g. wl12xx), and block notifiers can't be used (e.g. because the interface is already IF_OPER_UP, like after resuming from suspend) Signed-off-by: Eliad Peller Signed-off-by: John W.
