The only use for it in the AP mode is to support drivers (or well, more likely firmware designs) that insist on generating the Beacon (and Probe Response) frames themselves. I would be fine with net/mac80211 not supporting such designs, but it would probably be better to continue to support this in hostapd (and make it possible to do this with cfg/nl80211, too). -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
