Digging some old threads, found this. http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg35981.html I think programming keys before connection required extra handling with some drivers. Anyways we can move the discussion to linux-wireless as the issue is in the kernel domain. -- Thanks, Regards, Chaitanya T K. _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
