SOCK_WIFI_STATUS for control port over nl80211?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



In the last few weeks I used a wpa_supplicant with my patches for tx and
rx over nl80211 control port and sometimes observed longer time to
successful connection than without these patches. I think that this is a
result of wpa_supplicant using SOCK_WIFI_STATUS when transmitting EAPOL
frames over AF_PACKET sockets and using a fast retransmit, if the Wi-Fi
ack is not observed timely. So the question here is, should we add an
analog feature for tx over nl80211 control port? I think of a
control_port_tx_status message with a cookie delivered to user-space.

Regards,
Markus
