| c8f102776 | 0046 - remove Mesh link in wpa_supplicant_event_assoc only if CONFIG_MESH. |
| 805d05d44 | 0045 - nl80211: define static function if CONFIG_MESH |

| 8c0c6d475 | 0043 - Mesh: Support mesh connection to a "full" MP |
| fc38f7f3d | 0042 - Fix warrining compilation |
| f41568bd7 | 0041 - mesh on demand: Several fixes |
| ce6ab1eb8 | 0040 - mesh on demand: Allow BG scan user configuration |
| c37e1c623 | 0039 - Fix deauth with reason 7 due to multiple assoc_req received |
| de0347689 | 0038 - ap: add missing WLAN_STA_ASSOC_REQ_OK flag cleanups |
| 9e2c5a703 | 0037 - mesh on demand: Perform BG Scan only on serving channel |
| 4e0d5d73e | 0036 - mesh: Cannot perform scan on mesh IF while mesh is connected with security |
| 4e848a580 | 0035 - Mesh: Fixed max peer links |
| d562c586b | 0034 - Mesh: Don't allow SISO40 pri/sec channel switch |
| 32e830bd6 | 0033 - Mesh: Cannot create mesh network on channel 40 |
| 826e3e4fe | 0032 - Mesh: Can't join other mesh network after joining mesh network |
| 34d0be082 | 0031 - Mesh: mesh on demand support |
| f0546c5f1 | 0030 - Mesh: bug fix - make sure when we disconnect we wait for plink_close to be received |
| 3e8bcd5fe | 0029 - mesh: fix error print upon join |
| 346f0e6c8 | 0028 - AP-Mesh channel sync |
| 11660445d | 0027 - mesh : set OFDM basic rates as default |
| 78099a200 | 0026 - Mesh: Connection fixes |
| 6ef639339 | 0025 - Mesh: max peer parameter doesn't work |
| eea06a3db | 0024 - mesh: enable disassoc_low_ack event for mesh |
| ae10db254 | 0023 - P2P: fix duplicate structure patch |
| 1bcb3f1cf | 0022 - P2P: accept provision discovery with bcast group ID [IOP] Some bogus devices send provision discovery requests with bcast group id, which is invalid. However, as we currently must accept these requests, as they are needed for certification. |
| ba3458ca2 | 0021 - P2P: accommodate peers that use the GO address in prov_disc_resp [IOP] |
| c361835f1 | 0020 - P2P: Ignore PBC overlap in P2P provisioning [IOP] |
| 2085a1396 | 0019 - wpa_supplicant: declare 20/40 coex support [UPSTREAM] Set the appropriate bit in the extended capabilities IE |
| f1512cfcf | 0018 - P2P: increase p2p go initial connection timeout [WORKAROUND] increase the P2P_MAX_INITIAL_CONN_WAIT_GO timeout to avoid IOP issues with several P2P CL vendors. |
| 67bc00c10 | 0017 - reload iface on ifdown/up and suspend/resume (INTERNAL) |
| 822d26d97 | 0016 - ACS: don't choose JP-only channel [ACS] Avoid using channels 38 and 42 which are valid only in JP. |
| 3a85a46c2 | 0015 - ap: wps: avoid sending wps commands for each interface [AP AP] This is probably leftover from old times. it can actually cause some issues (e.g. overlapping pbc). |
| bde32fd3a | 0014 - acs: retry ACS scan on EBUSY return code [ACS] register a retry scan function if ACS failed due to another ongoing scan. |
| 402aa6a3c | 0013 - hostap: don't check scan results in case of 20mhz [AP AP] |
| 012558169 | 0012 - driver_nl80211: implement shared AP channel op [AP AP] |
| e78dae5d6 | 0011 - hostapd: use new op to sync AP channels [AP AP] A new op will be used to get the operational frequency and secondary channel of any existing APs, even if operating in different processes. |
| 839f86259 | 0010 - acs: skip HT_SCAN on channel sync [ACS] Since the channel was already chosen, we don't need to do another HT_SCAN. This reduces some problems that occur when radar is detected during HT_SCAN, etc. |
| 29a45599e | 0009 - acs: add additional dfs operating classes [ACS] This will allow choosing dfs ht40 channels |
| ccf96c639 | 0008 - Porting the legacy ACS implementation. |
| e727bac57 | 0007 - If another ap iface is enabled, sync to its channel (if ap_channel_sync is set). |
| 3f929e153 | 0006 - When ap_channel_sync=1 the 40Mhz operating channel of an AP will be set to the channel of an existing AP operating on the same PHY (NIC). |
| f5d169bad | In our case we want to sync to existing frequency in case of running ap (e.g. AP + GO), but don't sync in case of connected station (STA + GO). |
| 771dd4679 | Look for other used frequencies (by other hostapd processes) and use/prefer them for the new GO. |
| a6a981079 | Some channels shuldn't be used in the US (even though they are in the allowed regulatory range). skip them when choosing a new operating channel. 0003-dfs-skip-some-channels-INTERNAL-REG.patch |
| 35201eed9 | According to the requirement, channels 38/42/46 should not be advertised for non-JP countries. look for it explicitly. |
