CONSTANTS

WIPHY_FLAG_CUSTOM_REGULATORY

tells us the driver for this device has its own custom regulatory domain and cannot identify the ISO / IEC 3166 alpha2 it belongs to. When this is enabled we will disregard the first regulatory hint (when the initiator is REGDOM_SET_BY_CORE).

WIPHY_FLAG_STRICT_REGULATORY

tells us the driver for this device will ignore regulatory domain settings until it gets its own regulatory domain via its regulatory_hint. After its gets its own regulatory domain it will only allow further regulatory domain settings to further enhance compliance. For example if channel 13 and 14 are disabled by this regulatory domain no user regulatory domain can enable these channels at a later time. This can be used for devices which do not have calibration information gauranteed for frequencies or settings outside of its regulatory domain.

WIPHY_FLAG_DISABLE_BEACON_HINTS

enable this if your driver needs to ensure that passive scan flags and beaconing flags may not be lifted by cfg80211 due to regulatory beacon hints. For more information on beacon hints read the documenation for regulatory_hint_found_beacon

WIPHY_FLAG_NETNS_OK

if not set, do not allow changing the netns of this wiphy at all

WIPHY_FLAG_PS_ON_BY_DEFAULT

if set to true, powersave will be enabled by default -- this flag will be set depending on the kernel's default on wiphy_new, but can be changed by the driver if it has a good reason to override the default

WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_AP

supports 4addr mode even on AP (with a single station on a VLAN interface)

WIPHY_FLAG_4ADDR_STATION

supports 4addr mode even as a station

WIPHY_FLAG_CONTROL_PORT_PROTOCOL

This device supports setting the control port protocol ethertype. The device also honours the control_port_no_encrypt flag.

WIPHY_FLAG_IBSS_RSN

The device supports IBSS RSN.
