dev

: network device

freq

: Frequency on which the frame was received in MHz

DESCRIPTION

Returns true if a user space application has registered for this frame. For action frames, that makes it responsible for rejecting unrecognized action frames; false otherwise, in which case for action frames the driver is responsible for rejecting the frame.

This function is called whenever an Action frame is received for a station mode interface, but is not processed in kernel.
