+ * @NL80211_CMD_PROBE_MESH_LINK: The requirement for mesh link metric
+ * refreshing, is that from one mesh point we be able to send some data
+ * frames to other mesh points which are not currently selected as a
+ * primary traffic path, but which are only 1 hop away. The absence of
+ * the primary path to the chosen node makes it necessary to apply some
+ * form of marking on a chosen packet stream so that the packets can be
+ * properly steered to the selected node for testing, and not by the
+ * regular mesh path lookup. Further, the packets must be of type data
+ * so that the rate control (often embedded in firmware) is used for
+ * rate selection.
+ *
+ * Here attribute %NL80211_ATTR_MAC is used to specify connected mesh
+ * peer MAC address and %NL80211_ATTR_FRAME is used to specify the frame
+ * content. The frame is ethernet data.

* @NL80211_CMD_MAX: highest used command number
