Satya has not previously written *anything* with hostap code, and has not previously written *anything* with mbedtls. Satya is an undergraduate student and their questions appear to be part of a group project. > On Wed, Mar 27, 2024 at 09:35:15PM +0530, Satya Prakash Prasad wrote: > > I am an IT student doing this project to gain knowledge and experience.on > > Arduino Arm board. ** ** Please do continue to help them if you like! ** After sending a personal email to me, I asked for more info.

Whether naivety or not, I felt they displayed little respect for the **time** of the professionals to which the questions have been sent. (Case in point, I am providing the context to this thread, which they failed to do, even after having failed to do the same when contacting me privately two weeks ago.)
