Perhaps hidden behind a Kconfig option, though in this case I wouldn't even really be worried about code size/etc. since it's really not a hot path in the first place. I also have in the back of my mind to add a kind of strict mode to mac80211, where we would remove workarounds for various broken APs like the one we'll probably put in for the CSA thing ... Or checking more strictly channel configuration from beacon vs. assoc response, etc. I'm thinking of making that a parameter that comes from the driver to the stack, so that it'd be possible to run tests with some hwsim radios configured one way and some another way, or really more pragmatically so we could do different tests in different ways without having to reconfigure "everything" (just a new hwsim radio that changes the settings here would be sufficient for the hwsim case). This would kind of fit in a similar fashion? Though actually if we have comeback mechanism in userspace, maybe more generally we want to be able to disable the kernel mechanism, opt-in by an assoc-request flag? johannes _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
