As for userspace tools (nm, iw) -> umlme communication I've included three alternatives. I personally very much favour alternative one, will detail that in a separate mail. > Other items which we should consider: > > * Should umlme be optional or is this desired mandatory down the road? It'll be mandatory for anything that we don't currently do in the kernel, which will probably include * 802.11r (fast roaming) * 802.11s (mesh networking) (not entirely sure what management stuff this includes) * 802.11w (encrypted management) * DLS features of 802.11e * ... more I'm not thinking of right now > * How long should we wait to swich to a umlme?
