RE: [RFC] DFS userspace handler

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Do we have to choose between hostapd and wpa_supplicant?

Why not a new daemon, e.g. DFSd or radard? So that it can be used intuitively for all master or IBSS modes.

Perhaps it can be in wpa_supplicant instead?
