I would also make this maximum scan IE limit available to core wpa_supplicant code so that a more informed determination could be made to either not run a scan at all or remove a specific IE instead of all IEs when the driver does not support the preferred option. In other words, this should not be in src/drivers/driver_nl80211_scan.c but in wpa_supplicant/scan.c (and potentially some other wpa_supplicant/*.c files as well). -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
