wifi: mac80211: Add eMLSR/eMLMR action frame parsing support

2026-02-02T09:11:18+00:00

Introduce support in AP mode for parsing of the Operating Mode Notification frame sent by the client to enable/disable MLO eMLSR or eMLMR if supported by both the AP and the client. Add drv_set_eml_op_mode mac80211 callback in order to configure underlay driver with eMLSR/eMLMR info.

wifi: ieee80211: add some initial UHR definitions

2026-02-02T09:11:07+00:00

This is based on Draft P802.11bn_D1.2, but that's still very incomplete, so don't handle a number of things and make some local decisions such as using 40 bits for MAC capabilities and 8 bits for PHY capabilities.

wifi: cfg80211: add support for EPPKE Authentication Protocol

2026-01-14T13:34:15+00:00

Add an extended feature flag NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_EPPKE to allow a driver to indicate support for the Enhanced Privacy Protection Key Exchange (EPPKE) authentication protocol in non-AP STA mode, as defined in "IEEE P802.11bi/D3.0, 12.16.9". In case of SME in userspace, the Authentication frame body is prepared in userspace while the driver finalizes the Authentication frame once it receives the required fields and elements. The driver indicates support for EPPKE using the extended feature flag so that userspace can initiate EPPKE authentication. When the feature flag is set, process EPPKE Authentication frames from userspace in non-AP STA mode. If the flag is not set, reject EPPKE Authentication frames. Define a new authentication type NL80211_AUTHTYPE_EPPKE for EPPKE.

wifi: ieee80211: correct FILS status codes

2025-11-25T09:28:20+00:00

The FILS status codes are set to 108/109, but the IEEE 802.11-2020 spec defines them as 112/113. Update the enum so it matches the specification and keeps the kernel consistent with standard values.

The added struct is needed when writing generic handler for both CMAC-128 and CMAC-256. Signed-off-by: Chien Wong Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251113140511.48658-3-m@xv97.com Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg

wifi: mac80211: pass frame type to element parsing

2025-11-10T09:39:02+00:00

This will be needed for UHR operation parsing, and we already pass whether or not the frame is an action frame, replace that by the full type. Note this fixes a few cases where 'false' was erroneously passed (mesh and TDLS) and removes ieee802_11_parse_elems_crc() as it's unused.
