Yeah, I'm aware of that. I think it can actually request the transmit status now using the flags (would have to check), but the transmit status won't get sent over netlink but still over the wlan0ap interface. I haven't modified that part yet, but it shouldn't be hard to do. I'll have to look at that closer some time (soon). I think if you request the transmit status I'll have to save the netlink_pid of the request and then unicast back the transmit status. That shouldn't be hard to do at all (obviously requires that hostapd keeps the netlink socket open but it should do that anyway) johannes - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
