NAME

cfg80211_ibss_joined - notify cfg80211 that device joined an IBSS

SYNOPSIS

void cfg80211_ibss_joined(struct net_device * dev, const u8 * bssid, gfp_t gfp);

ARGUMENTS

dev

: network device

bssid

: the BSSID of the IBSS joined

gfp

: allocation flags

DESCRIPTION

This function notifies cfg80211 that the device joined an IBSS or switched to a different BSSID. Before this function can be called, either a beacon has to have been received from the IBSS, or one of the cfg80211_inform_bss{,_frame} functions must have been called with the locally generated beacon -- this guarantees that there is always a scan result for this IBSS. cfg80211 will handle the rest.
