Anyway, I still think there's a design issue here in how you handle the lifetime of this temporary address, and would think that it might make more sense to address that within the context of remain-on-channel and the response waiting time offchannel period. Remain-on-channel might not even be needed for the purpose here since you'd get a response and then give up waiting for a response? But it might be needed in some retry cases perhaps, I don't know. johannes
Thanks Johannes for reviewing the patches. The suggested approach to keep the allowed random/temporary address till the response waiting time off-channel period looks more cleaner and better. I will send new patch series with the suggested changes.
Also, we are considering to drop authentication offload changes patch (4th patch) from this series. We think it would be good to align with mac80211 and use MLD addresses in the frames during authentication offload case also. I will send a separate to patch for supporting authentication offload with MLD addressed frames.
