It basically disables all the code in ieee80211_sta.c and routes management frames to a special interface where wpa_supplicant (or hostap) handles things. This is preferred and the ieee80211_sta.c code is there for backwards compatibility. No major features should be added to the in-kernel MLME (ieee80211_sta.c) but even more importantly, your patch series does not provide the appropriate hooks for a userspace MLME to support a driver using this 802.11n API. -Michael Wu
Meanwhile I don't see feasible user space implementation for this as data packet classification is done in kernel. BACK streams are dynamically opened and teared down per TID according current traffic shape. This is new feature and the user space handling is not well understand yet. I suggest that we proceed with patches and let the evolution making its steps. If someone has concrete suggestion on implementing it as user space MLME I will be glad to hear.
