Thanks, applied with a number of fixes and cleanup. Quite a bit of additional work is still needed to make this more complete and to optimize some data structure uses to be a bit more reasonable, but it is good to get the patches in so that people can now move ahead with the pending items on top of a common baseline in hostap.git. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
