We are already using NL80211_ATTR_STA_AID, though -- one is for the station's AID (in our TIM, which is NL80211_ATTR_STA_AID) and the new one is for our AID in the peer's TIM. There is the NL80211_ATTR_PEER_AID but that seems specific to TDLS and also doesn't appear to be processed in the necessary way (e.g. overrides STA_AID in nl80211_new_station). -- Bob Copeland %% http://bobcopeland.com/ -- 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
