I have been postponing this since most drivers did not use to report their capabilities correctly. Anyway, if the driver is indeed reporting its capabilities, I would agree that wpa_supplicant should follow what is reported. I think that there's already code for reading the capabilities, but the code that acts on them (i.e., rejects some options in scan results) has not yet been written. I need to make sure that all driver wrappers default to enabling everything if the driver does not report capabilities, so that we can start filtering available options without breaking something that is working in the current version. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
