Hi Denis,

Looking pretty good. Do you also have hostapd and iwd patches available somewhere. I would like to see if I can get brcmfmac using it.


There are some very raw iwd patches I have. They're sitting in my private tree. I can send these to you privately or maybe setup a wiki page somewhere for you to grab them. They do not take the NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CONTROL_PORT_OVER_NL80211 feature bit into account, so I still need to work on these. Was holding off until Johannes merges at least the high level API bits.

I never modified hostapd. iwd has a very rudimentary AP mode support. Not fully useable but enough to run a 4-way handshake. So with that in mind I concentrated on two scenarios while testing:

1. modified iwd (STA) utiling EAPoL over NL80211 connecting to stock hostapd. In effect this was testing both the legacy and the new behavior.

2. modified iwd (STA) utilizing EAPoL over NL80211 connecting to stock hostapd. Then disconnecting and connecting to modified iwd (AP).

iwd doesn't (yet) have support for P2P, IBSS or Mesh. So the bits touching these features should be considered untested.
