Hi Johannes,
And AFAIK the kernel generates a disconnected event as soon as we
send a CMD_AUTHENTICATE, so not sure how you envision 'your'
preauthentication working...
That's what I was trying to say - it doesn't. A few years ago we tried
to support that but it's not really possible to do well.
Okay, *now* I'm with you :)
However, you're not answering my question...
Which was?
So if we issue CMD_CONNECT with a PREV_BSSID, does/should OPERSTATE
still stay UP?
One can use regular roaming on a full mac but not FT.
We had intended to have NL80211_CMD_ROAM to make that decision once,
but never really used it for that... I think it could be implemented
but I don't really know how well drivers were to support it.
I think it would be nice. Worst case a driver won't implement it, but
we can use FT on those that do.
Regards,
