Hey, Currently we have some sort of support for hardware that generates beacons independently. However, we have no such hardware. Hostapd, however, requires that SIOCSIWGENIE doesn't fail. I suppose it can be taught to ignore it. However, the question is whether we want to support such hardware designs in mac80211. I tend to not want to with the ever increasing complexity and number of fields in the beacon. Where should the "generic element" be inserted into the beacon? Last? After the TIM? Then how does the hardware know what to include in the supported rates element etc? Does anyone object to just getting rid of it? johannes
