Hello Ben,

I have been using this part of wpa_supplicant to notify that 4-Way handshake is completed.

around line 868 in wpa_supplicant.c

#if defined(CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE) || !defined(CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG)
                wpa_msg(wpa_s, MSG_INFO, WPA_EVENT_CONNECTED "- Connection to "
                        MACSTR " completed [id=%d id_str=%s%s]",
                        MAC2STR(wpa_s->bssid),
                        ssid ? ssid->id : -1,
                        ssid && ssid->id_str ? ssid->id_str : "",
                        fils_hlp_sent ? " FILS_HLP_SENT" : "");
#endif /* CONFIG_CTRL_IFACE || !CONFIG_NO_STDOUT_DEBUG */

You can pack whatever notification message inside the if statement.

Thanks for the hint.  How do you receive this?  By leaving 'wpa_cli' running?

I am having my supplicant manage 64+ station vdevs...is there a way to make it
get events from all of them at once so that I don't need 64+ monitor processes?

Thanks,
Ben

I have been tracking down a nasty EAPOL related bug in ath10k, and found something that may be peripheral, or maybe
it is significant.

My logic is basically to kick supplicant, watch 'iw events', and then when I see something
like "sta62 (phy #5): connected to 00:0e:8e:f8:73:96", I consider it connected and start
dhcpd.

But, it appears that the 'connected' message comes out before the EAPOL 4-way completes, so
I am starting dhclient before the encryption is really set up properly.  At best, this slows
things down and makes dhclient have to retry.

Is there some existing event or state I can probe to determine when the initial 4-way is complete?

In case there is not, maybe that event would be worth adding?

Or, should I hack on supplicant instead and grab the info out of it somehow?

Thanks,
Ben
