I'm not sure I mentioned it to him, or even remembered it when we were discussing it, but I don't think this patch is a good idea, at least for action frames. For non-action frames, I don't see any problem. However, for action frames, if you subscribe you get the responsibility to return if unhandled (setting 0x80 in the action code fields). With multiple subscribers, that becomes impossible. If you restrict it to non-action I can live with it, but I don't know what you really want to do with this. johannes
