Hi Luis: Thanks for the lightning response (and of course for the great work with ath9k).
"Not yet, but please feel free to give a shot at hacking it up. It would require a new cfg80211 command but keep in mind the way I believe we want this is to use the 802.11 MLME SAP interface for this." I thought as much to start looking at the iw source but thought would check with you guys first. Would the implementation be similar to the "set channel" and/or the "set frequency" commands? Is there is another function using the 802.11 MLME SAP interface that I can use as a guideline? "Nice, just one tip: may want to stick to using iw from git if you are doing development, it keeps moving on and on." Yes, I will get the latest git code before I begin any hacking. regards, Kishore On Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 5:22 PM, Luis R.
