Now, a user can setup an AP as follows:
- Set device "Mode" to ap (ap interface will appear on bus)
- call "Start()" on AP interface
Issuing "Stop()" on the AP interface will stop and cleanup
the internal AP structures, but the AP interface will remain
up. To shutdown completely the device Mode must be switched
back to station. If the AP interface is running, the Mode can
directly be switched to station without calling Stop; this
has the same effect and will take down the AP interface.
As a temporary DBus API to switch between Station and Access Point
modes, add two methods on the Device interface. Add a new state
DEVICE_STATE_ACCESS_POINT which is in effect from the moment
StartAccessPoint is received (even before it returns) until
StopAccessPoint returns, there are no intermediate states when the
methods run for simplicity. Add checks across device.c to make sure
Station related functionality is disabled when in Access Point mode.
Trigger a roam attempt when the RSSI level has been low for at least 5
seconds using the netdev RSSI LOW/HIGH events. See if neighbor reports
are supported and if so, request and process the neighbor reports list
to restrict the number of channels to be scanned. The scanning part is
not included in this patch for readability.
Turn netdev watches into device watches. The intent is to refactor out
netdev specific details into its own class and move device specific
logic into device.c away from wiphy.c
