These are two entirely different things, preauth is simply real data as far as the local system is concerned. It's not related to controlled port operation at all, which this nl80211 API is about. FWIW, you may have seen Markus's patch to remove preauth from the RX as well, this won't work as is, but I'm still a bit on the fence as to whether I'll force you into the right model or not (i.e. clear the existing capability bit in mac80211, and introduce a new one that doesn't report preauth over nl80211). For RX, however, the difference isn't really that much of a big deal, so maybe just make it optional. johannes
