Re: ROAM/CONNECT event with PORT_AUTHORIZED

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,
-Denis
