Hi, I'm trying to understand what additional features are needed in drivers to support AP mode. I took a look at the mac80211 documentation on the web site and all it says is that: # honour IEEE80211_TX_CTL_SEND_AFTER_DTIM or set IEEE80211_HW_HOST_BROADCAST_PS_BUFFERING and use the ieee80211_get_buffered_bc() function # must honour IEEE80211_TX_RC_USE_SHORT_PREAMBLE or never do short-preamble transmissions # When sending probe response frames, the timestamp must be adjusted by the hardware or firmware. This is important to power saving stations that happen to adjust their TSF from the timestamp in the probe response frame. # implement sequence numbering for frames with the IEEE80211_TX_CTL_ASSIGN_SEQ flag (or ask the hardware to do it for those frames) # react to the set_tim() callback or fetch each beacon from mac80211 This makes it seem like the driver doesn't have to do that much more than it does normally. Somehow, I don't believe that's it can be that easy. What else does the driver need to do to support something like hostapd?
