If libnl is not acceptable for whatever reason, I see two options: 1) re-implement libnl replacement that provides identical API or 2) modify wpa_supplicant src/drivers/driver_nl80211.c to process nl80211/netlink messages with internal implementation instead of libnl. I don't care particularly how that would be done, but trying to use WEXT is not really a reasonable approach here. > Well if it is google's problem to solve it, this discussion about > wireless support in android is on hold until they've done so. right? I have no reason to believe that Android support could not be discussed even if some Android distributions do not like libnl. People seem to be perfectly fine in using libnl on Android. Sure, some cases may not be able to include libnl, but that should not stop this discussion or implementation work and there are clear options described above on how to address the license concern. -- 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
