Thanks for the patch. If I understood this correctly, wpa_supplicant would be converted to use the new connect command whenever it is supported. While it is nice to get support for connect added, this is not how it should be done as it breaks all the new work we have been enabling with mac80211. The separate auth/assoc commands should be the default operation and only if the driver does not support this, should the connect command be used. -- 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
