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.
If they are not fit for posting feel free to send them to me.
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.
That's fine. Just wanted to get a feel about the feature. May provide
some lessons to try it with a non-mac80211 driver and I wanted to have a
spin with iwd as that is new to me.
Regards,
Arend
