Agreed and it should be relatively small change in wpa_supplicant, so I'm not against doing this. However, at this point I would not yet recommend trying to use driver_nl80211 as the first option. Once we get nl80211 bit more complete and at least make sure it does not break something, adding the automatic driver selection would sound more reasonable. Though, this would also mean that we depend on drivers never implementing partial nl80211 support that could trigger wpa_supplicant into believing that they support nl80211 when they would actually work much better with wext. -- 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
