Stijn Tintel 73c424b9e4 usteer: add option for probe steering

Probe suppression is mostly useful in high density deployments, where
all APs responding to all client probes would result in all channels
being saturated. It effectively hides APs from clients, and can cause
problems in normal density deployments.

Add an option for it, so it can be disabled.

usteer

usteer is a client steering daemon written for OpenWrt.

Its goal is to optimize roaming behavior of wireless clients (STAs) in a ESS consisting of multiple BSS / APs.

Functions

Synchronization of Neighbor Reports between multiple APs
Policy-based decisions for probe- / association- / authentication requests received from STAs
Requesting clients to roam to a different BSS based on SNR / signal-level
Channel-load based client steering to different BSS

Installation

usteer is available from the OpenWrt packages feed and can be installed on devices running OpenWrt 21.02+ using opkg:

opkg update; opkg install usteer

Submitting patches

usteer patches are welcome on the openwrt-devel mailing list.

Before submitting patches, check out OpenWrts guide on submission policies.

Make sure to add a usteer subject prefix using the --subject-prefix option when exporting the patch with git format-patch.
