Hi Holger,
Thanks for the reply.
I would like to test the Neighbour AP concept in 802.11k and I have the support
in client i.e. custom supplicant and would like to have an AP(As I have an
Atheros card) with 802.11k for testing. If support for 802.11k is available,
then Iam unable to get any details to enable/disable this feature in
Ath5k.That' the reason I sent a mail to the group so as to understand this.
Regards,
Vinod

No. And yes. That would be a layer violation. The question is like
asking "Will Goodmonths tires support driving to Paris?". The answer
is: the tires don't care. They are there to rotate.
Similarly, ath5k doesn't care. It's there to change frequency,
transmit and receive packets.
802.11k would happen in different places. E.g the part where the
hostapd informs the client happens in hostapd. The part where the
client now scans could happen in wpa_supplicant, maybe with a bit help
of mac80211 (in Linux kernel), maybe not.
Question: isn't 802.11k a corner case? Do you REALLY have problems
that a swarm of x clients just attach to one access point?
Wouldn't the easier solution be to just increase the AP density and
reduce the tranmit power of the APs a bit? APs are cheap nowadays ...
