I don't understand why my test setup moves to using P2P Device by default when mac80211_hwsim is perfectly capable of operating without that.. I have been thinking of applying the wpa_supplicant changes in a way that would make them disabled by default and use a runtime configuration parameter (e.g., driver_param to driver_nl80211.c) to enable this functionality for now. This would allow the patches to go in now and make it somewhat easier to test them. Anyway, if mac80211_hwsim changes its default behavior, this would be of lesser needed (well, once a new kernel release or compat-drivers gets released). In general, I don't think it is a good idea to change existing behavior with a kernel or wpa_supplicant upgrade. It is obviously fine if this is needed for the functionality to work in the first place, but that is not the case with mac80211_hwsim. -- 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
