Hi, A few years ago I ported wpa_supplicant V0.7.3 to AmigaOS, MorphOS and AROS. At the time, I found it convenient to use the built-in MLME code, as the host OSes' network stacks are still Ethernet based. At that time, my wireless drivers only supported the 802.11g standard and earlier, and the built-in MLME worked quite well. However, as I now want to add support for 802.11n, it looks like I need enhanced MLME code. The problem of course is that the MLME code has been removed from current versions of wpa_supplicant. I'd be grateful for any advice on how I should proceed. I would consider enhancing the built-in MLME code myself, but would there be any possibility of merging these changes back into the trunk? IMHO the removed code was useful for alternative OSes in general. Although wpa_supplicant was designed to be cross platform, its current direction appears to be more Linux-centric. Where is the MLME functionality located when wpa_supplicant is used in OSes such as the BSDs, Windows, etc.? Or do they all have ports of mac80211 (I believe Haiku does for example)? Also, in case I'm misunderstanding my problem, could someone confirm that it is the MLME's role to decide that 802.11n modes should be used and to tell the driver the MCS to use? (The MLME in 0.7.3 does not seem to contain this functionality.)
