Yes, I would expect the driver/mac80211 to do exactly that. You can actually pass full set of IEs received from Beacon/ProbeResp in one IWEVGENIE event and wpa_supplicant will parse the IEs from that data and there is no need for separate reporting of WPA/RSN IEs. The current version of wpa_supplicant would ignore the HT IE, but it sounds reasonable to add code there to take care of this new requirement in .11n on limiting the available pairwise ciphers. -- 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
