That description could use some work :) It's not quite clear to me why this needs new API, and new semantics for the existing AUTH/ASSOC commands. In fact, the latter I dislike most, because those commands/events are only used in client mode right now, and having them in AP mode now seems confusing. Perhaps just mirroring the frames to userspace with CMD_FRAME, if needed with a new flag that they're already handled or so would be better? johannes
