Not creating P2P_DEVICE will simply not work with drivers expecting it, and changing iftype to/from P2P-Device isn't supported since it would delete/create the netdev. I don't really see much choice but reject (or ignore) this option for drivers using P2P_DEVICE. Why would anyone *really* want P2P operation on wlan0 when another interface can be used? johannes -- 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
