Are you fine with it? Instead, user-space application records the array index when querying the SAR capability. When set, the nested array index will be used to set the power. This requires user-space has a strict mapping of index. and NL80211_ATTR_IFINDEX is to be removed.
Wait, what? The IFINDEX is still required, that identifies the interface - though it probably shouldn't be required, this should be per wiphy, so you could also use ATTR_WIPHY_IDX? You're thinking of ... something else. NL80211_SAR_ATTR_SPECS_FREQ_RANGE_INDEX perhaps? johannes
