Do anyone has idea how to push it to the user space?
We already use ieee80211_sta_send_apinfo (SIOCGIWAP) for notification.
Can be reason code attached without breaking user space? The
iwreq_data it self has enough space to add this and this can be queued
at the end.
struct {
sockaddr ap_addr; /** 0 address means association failed (Xeros
address dilemma)
__u16 reason_code /** IEEE reason code */
__u16 status_code /** IEEE reason code */
__u32 internal_reason /* mac80211/driver crashed/it's raining/too etc */
};
Thanks
Tomas
