Type

  • Bug fix
  • Feature addition
  • Feature update
  • Documentation
  • Build Infrastructure

Side Effects

  • Breaking change
  • Non-functional change

Goals

  • Ensure 6GHz bands are enabled when requested. This band requires protected management frames (PMF) and this was not being set in the lower hostapd layer.

Technical Details

  • Add ManagementFrameProtection enumeration for hostapd.
  • Extend AccessPointControllerLinux::SetFrequencyBands to set the ieee80211w management frames property to ManagementFrameProtection::Required.
  • Move hw_mode property value helper to ProtocolHostapd with other related ones.

Test Results

  • All unit tests pass.
  • Verified out-of-band with hostapd_cli that 6GHz band is enabled following enabling it using the cli.

Reviewer Focus

  • None

Future Work

  • Additional 6GHz related features may need additional changes. These will be determined as needed.

Checklist

  • Build target all compiles cleanly.
  • clang-format and clang-tidy deltas produced no new output.
  • Newly added functions include doxygen-style comment block.
