Ah, fmac, that will be somewhat interesting. What userspace APIs are you
proposing for that case?
Not sure if I understand the question. I am using wpa_supplicant with
wpa_cli for testing and given its p2p support I assumed there is already
a nl80211 api in place. I am still trying to get a good sense on it. The
P2P code to port does more parsing of P2P stuff and if you mean adding
userspace APIs to avoid just that I would definitely prefer that.
Well the APIs that we have in place right now are really basically just
a conduit and wpa_s does all the operations. I would expect fmac to have
more offloads (and thus need the parsing), I'd actually be surprised if
you could work with the existing APIs.
I mainly focussed on reworking brcmfmac to support multiple (virtual)
interfaces and wireless devices without netdev. So far I only did the
scanning part of p2p device discovery which is a regular 802.11 scan so
no API change needed there. So no API change proposals yet. When I learn
more I will discuss it on the wireless list.
