Yeah but I don't think that's a valid general assumption, and with the
feature advertising API that you came up with, the driver can't
advertise that it supports both at the same time etc.

Also, in fact, I think there needs to be more justification for why you
need two lists to start with -- it seems to me that a white- and
blacklist doesn't make sense at all, unless it's not really a white- and
blacklist but one of
  1) a blacklist
  2) a whitelist + a "do not notify" list

And actually, without a notify mechanism (which I don't think exists
yet) this doesn't make sense anyway

We have it for a connection request from a client listed under
black list through NL80211_ATTR_CONN_FAILED_REASON in
NL80211_CMD_CONN_FAILED. But the one which needs to be
there for a connection from client which is part of
neither of the groups is not yet there. As I mentioned
in my previous reply, is this also be sent in
NL80211_CMD_CONN_FAILED.
