The related nl80211 attribute NL80211_ATTR_REG_ALPHA2 is defined as the two character country code and as such, the third octet of the country code information is not used there. > So I would like to know if hostapd has actually support for the third byte of the country code and if not how it can be send to the kernel. hostapd supports using the third octet when generating the Country element for Beacon and Probe Response frames, but this octet is not send to the kernel separately since there is no existing kernel interface for doing so. Anyway, drivers that use hostapd Beacon/Probe Response frame template do get the full three octet value for those frames. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
