[v2,6/6] mac80211: Enable initiating radiation on indoor channels

Commit Message

Peer, Ilan Jan. 15, 2014, 3:52 p.m. UTC

Allow active scanning and frame injection on channels marked with
IEEE80211_CHAN_NO_IR iff the channel is also marked with
IEEE80211_CHAN_INDOOR_ONLY and the wireless core thinks that it
operates in an indoor environment.

Please keep in mind that the feature flag on the wiphy would
be used in your regulatory_ir_allowed() routine.
