Hi Johannes, So I want to get back to this as to assure we have the same understanding. First off, the proposed offloads are STA-only. So if a driver supports STA and AP mode and the 4-way-HS offload, we could already have the case you describe here. So not really a "bolted on" scenario I would say. It does raise the question whether or not we want similar offloads for AP. Regards, Arend
