By the way - I know now that the proprietary Broadcom driver has the
same bug, to the point where this is apparently getting encoded into the

I urge you to fix this issue there as well. If an absolute "last
updated" timestamp is needed (and "last seen [ms] ago" isn't sufficient)
then new API will be needed.

Sorry, seem to have missed the original patches somehow. Guess because
it says *brmc*80211.

No no - it's a looong time ago and was also applied a long time ago. It
just reared it's head again in another place.

Found the commit in git log. So you mean the proprietary DHD driver or Android bcmdhd still uses host timestamp. I agree it should be fixed, but I may need some good arguments to convince my co-workers. So what kind of issues are rearing their (ugly) heads? supplicant issues?

Regards,
Arend
