cfg80211: advertise extended capabilities to userspace
In many cases, userspace may need to know which of the 802.11 extended capabilities ("Extended Capabilities element") are implemented in the driver or device, to include them e.g. in beacons, assoc request/response or other frames. Add a new nl80211 attribute to hold the extended capabilities bitmap for this. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
