nl80211: allow sending CMD_FRAME without specifying any frequency
Users may want to send a frame on the current channel without specifying it. This is particularly useful for the correct implementation of the IBSS/RSN support in wpa_supplicant which requires to receive and send AUTH frames. Make mgmt_tx pass a NULL channel to the driver if none has been specified by the user. Signed-off-by: Antonio Quartulli <antonio@open-mesh.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
