+Subject: mac80211: add beacon configuration via cfg80211
+
+This patch implements the cfg80211 hooks for configuring beaconing
+on an access point interface in mac80211. While doing so, it fixes
+a number of races that could badly crash the machine when the
+beacon is changed while being requested by the driver.
+
+Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net>
+
+---
+The dtim_count field should possibly also be part of the beacon
+structure, but the possible race there doesn't really matter,
+worst thing is that one beacon will be sent with a wrong dtim
+count if (and only if) userspace changes the dtim period during
+operation.
