Hey Jouni, Johannes, After discussing this with the wl12xx FW guys, it seems that: - WPS2 and P2P special cases are currently not handled in FW - the default template is always returned for probe requests - The AP currently always responds to a probe request - The AP currently never passes up probe requests In light of this new info, this might be a possible solution: - Implement a capability flag for ap-supports-offloading-of-basic-probe-reqs. With "basic" I mean WPS1/2 and P2P IEs are not included. - Hostapd will configure a probe-resp template only when it supports probe-resp offloading (currently when WPS and P2P are off) and the driver supports it (using the capability flag). - Support a "pass and and don't reply to probe requests" mode in FW (this will take some time to implement). For now the wl12xx driver must operate in a "compatibility" mode, since the FW doesn't support passing-up probe requests. When the probe-resp template is not available we will use the beacon template, as currently used now. There are currently no plans for intelligent filtering of probe requests in FW - its all or nothing. Should hostapd reply to probe requests when offloading is configured? This is a moot point for wl12xx since probe-requests are not passed up. Do you have a preference here? I'd appreciate your comments on this.
