ath6kl makes use of cfg80211_find_ie() to parse RSN IE from beacon.tail.
You are right. mwifiex should use this API too, instead of implementing its own.
For AP SME mode, we have set WIPHY_FLAG_HAVE_AP_SME bit in wiphy->flags (PATCH 3/18).
And in start_up() handler, we retrieve beacon IE, probe response IE, and association response IE from cfg80211_ap_settings beacon tail. Driver will send these IEs to firmware.
Other cfg80211_ap_settings parameters (ssid, beacon interval, dtim period, security) have been taken care of in patches 12/18 and 14/18.
I will respin v2 patchset to include the cfg80211_find_ie() change.
Thanks,
Bing
