This is done using either the wps_pin or wps_pbc command on the GO's group interface. When using a PIN, the same PIN needs to be entered on the peer (client) with p2p_connect. The PIN included in the P2P-PROV-DISC-SHOW-PIN event is there to make it easier for the upper level management software. In other words, it is a randomly generated PIN that could be displayed on the GO device. However, there is no requirement to use that specific PIN. If it is used, the WPS_PIN command would be used to authorize it on the GO just before displaying this PIN so that the peer device could enter it (P2P_CONNECT .. join). -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
