This patch series adds rx control port support over nl80211. Control port
over nl80211 delivers all EAPOL userspace.
Nl80211 control port for AP mode is included, but disabled, as currently no
tx status support for control port frames is included in the kernel.
Wpa_supplicant now uses control port rx over nl80211 for both
EAPOL frames. pre-auth frame rx is disabled.
wpa_supplicant connects noticeably faster in my tests with this patch series
applied.
Thanks to Jouni for pointing out, that pre-auth frames should not be handled over
the nl80211 control port in comments on a previous version of this patchset.
v2:
- drop pre-auth over ctrl port, warn if pre-auth frame is received
