i was talking about a different scenario. its not about adding a
element, but to read it back for gui for instance. this is why i made a
patch which parses this special ie
and adds the radioname as extra element to the station table. this works
for ap as well of course. so iw ath0 station dump will print out the
radio name if available
Oh. That's something I'd argue should just be implemented in hostapd
then? No need to do anything in the kernel for that.
i know. thats why i never even tried to contribute it upstream. but from hostapd side it was more complicated than just hacking mac80211 and from stations a second mod for wpa_supplicant would be needed and since the dd-wrt webgui just uses nl80211 to show the station table
its more comportable and takes less code just todo it within the driver
i there is special interest in it i could of course try to clean it up and make a upstream patch out of it
