"Standard wpa_supplicant" needs to become more aware of multiple users of the same radio, so it is certainly fine to add changes there. For example, a mechanism for noticing that interfaces are sharing a radio would be useful. With that, it should also be possible to share the BSS table and scan results (and requests!) within wpa_supplicant. Sure, mac80211 could potentially do some of merging and reusing, too, but as far as wpa_supplicant use cases (including hostapd and AP mode in Wi-Fi P2P like use cases here) are concerned, mac80211 changes may not be needed for handling the scanning part. -- 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
