The I think we also need support pin method, most netbook and handset does not have the push button:(, if we don't support pin method, this p2p feature may be useless for them. >connection will be done without use the Group concept, I mean, both >peers will use the command connect and one of them will be chosen the >Group Owner, instead of one Peer create a Group and the other Peer join >into this Group. The reason for this is that according with the wpa >developers to use Group Add + Join is not the recommended way. At the beginning we may not support Group operation because our tethering feature works better:), but in the long run we still need this operation like join a persistent group. Also we may need service discovery feature. Thanks Arron
