It seems to me that it could just use the regular NL80211_ATTR_STA_AID attribute, and the cfg80211 code would already be in place, and you'd just need to add a single line to mac80211 and to cfg80211_check_station_change() to accept that. johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
