Hi again, So I had put this aside for a while, but really got annoyed by all the test failures now ... thinking about this again I basically now arrived at a variant of solution #3 previously outlined, and I've kind of convinced myself that userspace should always get an event with a new carrier_up_count as it does today. So I've implemented a new nl80211 attribute carrying the current carrier_up_count at the time of the wireless event, so that we can (in userspace) wait for the corresponding rtnetlink event if we haven't seen it yet. Patches for wpa_supplicant to follow. johannes
