This is not how IEEE 802.11 IBSS is supposed to work. If there are issues in IBSS splits, merges, or timesync, I would consider fixes to those to be preferred over hacks that hide the issues and cause interoperability issues with standard compliant IBSS implementations. Anyway, since I don't really care that much about IBSS to actually start using lots of time to fix problems there, I would not object to this type of change as long it does not change the default behavior (i.e., by default, mac80211 should operate in standard compliant manner) and the users are not mislead to enable such a hack while still believing that their devices are operating in a standard IBSS. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
