Hi Johannes,
Yes, I plan to add hwsim advertisement separately once kernel
changes are accepted. Will also add hostapd testcases at the
same time.

OK, great! But adding it in hwsim is a kernel change, so why not just
send that patch together?

Hi Johannes,

Trivial advertisement will not work because mac80211_hwsim_beacon_tx() does not handle the EMA case which may have more than one beacons transmitted. It will need to be changed to use the newly added ieee80211_beacon_get_template().

Hence I will add a separate change for HWSIM.

Thanks.
