This would break the advertised time information. hostapd supports only the option of UTC time at TSF timer 0, i.e., at the time the BSS was started. If hostapd_update_time_adv() is called again during the lifetime of the BSS, the advertised time would be changed to be the current time at the time this call happened which would not be the time at TSF 0. If this change would be needed for some purpose, hostapd_update_time_adv() would need to be modified to address the FIX comment there regarding fetching the current TSF value and updating the time stamp based on that information. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
