I discussed about the event mechanism with Jithu which is who asked me to look at their patches for this feature. His suggestion was to have a "port authorized" event after successful handshake as it will help in key mgmt offload cases. He gave the following example: Suppose you are doing a fresh 8021x followed by 4way handshake offload. Right now there is no event to indicate to the upper layer that the 4way handshake have been completed successfully. So the only thing to do in wpa_supplicant is to consider it completed and if not be hit with deauth. Regards, Arend
