The standard may claim to be fully backwards compatible, but that does not mean there would be guarantee of no regressions or interop issues if this were enabled.. I'd consider getting this in first with default being the functionality being disabled. Once there is some more trust in this actually working and not causing problems (e.g., an independent implementation to test against), the default could be changed in the future. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
