Actually, iwconfig works fine in my current version since it just uses the information from same functions that were used in net/mac80211/mlme.c. In other words, when I complete association with an external SME (wpa_supplicant), iwconfig can still show the BSSID etc. info. I'm now able to complete authentication and association in two steps and use only nl80211 for it (i.e., no WEXT code needed in driver_nl80211.c for auth/assoc/deauth/disassoc processing). The mlme.c changes are not the cleanest possible and there are still couple of places where mlme.c shows its SME nature by deciding to automatically do something, but other than that, this seems to be functional. -- 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
