Just a thought ... mac80211 no longer maintains auth state at all when the auth is not in process, so should we, instead of passing this all through mac80211, make it cfg80211-only? Ok that doesn't work for the assoc part, but for auth it should? johannes -- 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
