I don't get this patch at all. Why am I reviewing some very very basic
skeleton code when we should be discussing userspace APIs (we have
already discussed them with a few people years ago), how the AMP is
going to be managed, how the security handshake is going to work, etc.
Do we have some outcome from that discussion?
This API-defining patch is probably the best we have:

Thanks for the link. After looking to the patches I think that there are
some similarities with respect to interface type. As I understood the
basic idea is the same: create virtual interface. But in your case the
implementation is really difficult.
Why do we need netlink commands like NL80211_CMD_HCI_AMP_ADD and
NL80211_CMD_HCI_AMP_DELETE if what we need is to create/delete virtual
interface which can be done with standard tools with a several lines
patch to iw:
[...]
That would work, but the plan was to have separate commands because
those commands create a virtual netdev, which we don't want in this case.
And no, given the lack of userspace tools we never tested these patches.
I was more of a "write down API thoughts in code" thing.
