Subject: [PATCH 1/4 2.6.34.y] mac80211: explicitly disable/enable QoS
Date: Fri, 11 Jun 2010 17:05:11 +0200
 
commit e1b3ec1a2a336c328c336cfa5485a5f0484cc90d upstream.
 
Add interface to disable/enable QoS (aka WMM or WME). Currently drivers
enable it explicitly when ->conf_tx method is called, and newer disable.
Disabling is needed for some APs, which do not support QoS, such
we should send QoS frames to them.
