I put off replying to this because I couldn't really do or propose anything ... I do wonder though if it we can't find some way of at least unifying two of the three control interfaces? Or perhaps find some kind of "control interface description language" that can be used to build different kinds of interface code at build time, so only a single place needs to maintain it? That might also get rid of (or, well, generate) a lot of the current boiler-plate logic. Perhaps that doesn't need to be tied to this specific topic, but if not then more quirks/special things would have to be handled since the binder API would presumably have to be treated as a stable API. johannes _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
