[PATCH 0/8] staging: rtl8192e: Remove sending beacons

From: Philipp Hortmann
Date: Fri Nov 24 2023 - 16:30:28 EST


This driver supports station infrastructure and monitor mode. Therefore
it does not have to be able to send beacons. Remove all code with the
preparation of beacons.

There are two ways to time beacons. One is via an interrupt from
hardware and one is from a timer in the driver. Both are removed.

Tested with rtl8192e (WLL6130-D99) in Mode n (12.5 MB/s)
Transferred this patch over wlan connection of rtl8192e.
