Hi, > The documentation for nl80211 says the following about the > NL80211_CMD_AUTHENTICATE command: > "When used as an event, this reports reception of an Authentication > frame in station and IBSS modes when the local MLME processed the > frame, i.e., it was for the local STA and was received in correct > state." > > I very much want this to be true for IBSS modes.

I can easily follow the code for the case when the interface > is in station mode but lose the trail for IBSS. I'm afraid that isn't actually true for IBSS. The event you get there will be NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION. > As far as I can tell, the only path to nl80211_send_rx_auth (the only > place a NL80211_CMD_AUTHENTICATE command is sent to userspace) looks > like this: > ieee80211_iface_work invokes ieee80211_sta_rx_queued_mgmt to handle > queued management packets received on a station interface. > ieee80211_sta_rx_queued_mgmt (eventually) invokes > cfg80211_send_rx_auth, after the proper handling. Finally, > cfg80211_send_rx_auth invokes nl80211_send_rx_auth. Yes. I think in your case though, what you really want is a NL80211_CMD_FRAME event? You register for auth frames, also to prevent mac80211 from handling them itself, and then they get diverted to cfg80211_rx_mgmt() and on to nl80211_send_mgmt(). johannes -- 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
