Hi, I just took the time to adjust hostapd to the new nl80211-based hardware capabilities exporting (patch I recently posted) and it "works" again. The todo list now pretty much is: * bring Michael Wu's "cooked" monitor patches to a suitable shape for merging and write iw(1) support for monitor flags; the cooked monitor hook shouldn't be in the RX handlers to allow seeing frames that other handlers dropped * remove 802.1X setting, 802.1X need never be disabled on an AP because it can be completely managed by hostapd * allow hostapd to set the 'basic' and 'supported' rate sets * allow hostapd to set QoS queue parameters * allow hostapd to set ERP parameters: - RTS/CTS protection - preamble - slot time * make kernel send events via nl80211 (TKIP MMIC, key threshold, ...) * make hostapd deal with such kernel events by using libnl properly with an ops list * implement regulatory domain control kernel/userspace API * make hostapd use that API, it wants to be in control of regulatory compliance rather than relying on an external daemon I hope Luis will work on the last two items, and I personally want to handle only the first two items. All others on the list are up for grabs. As usual, patches available from my website (ping me if I forget to push them.) I'm fairly confident now that my cfg80211 rate/channel API and the corresponding nl80211 export code is usable now so I'll post that for inclusion soon, I'll even rebase it on top of the iwlwifi changes if they are merged soon enough. johannes
