I'm recommending 0.7.x branch for all AP functionality with nl80211-based driver interface and as such, do not really want to promote use of 0.6.x versions for this. I started working on porting the driver_nl80211.c changes into the 0.6.x branch, but that turned up to take way too much effort compared to what the potential benefit would be. As such, I do not plan on continuing on this direction and you should be prepared to quite a bit of additional work on porting non-trivial fixes from hostapd 0.7.x yourself if you plan on using hostapd 0.6.x in Gentoo with mac80211/nl80211-based drivers. -- 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
