Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
I committed a change to hostapd devel branch to use the new rsn_ie
variable. The committed change (attached hostapd-devel-committed.diff) is
a bit different (cleaner from my viewpoint) than the proposed change.
Anyway, the end result is identical in practice. I verified that this
works with madwifi-ng r1453 in WPA, WPA2, and WPA+WPA2 configurations.
PS.
Please consider adding something to allow user space programs handle
kernel-user space ABI changes more properly when modifying
ieee80211_ioctl.h. This change breaks hostapd builds against any older
revision of madwifi-ng and that is not really something I would like to be
doing. If something like "#define IEEE80211REQ_WPAIEE_HAS_RSN_IE" had been
added into ieee80211_ioctl.h, I could have used that to make hostapd build
against both old and new revisions of madwifi-ng. I do understand that
this is still under development, but I really try to avoid compilation
failures with driver interfaces and in this case, the only way to do that
would have been to make a local copy of the driver header file and I'm too
lazy to do that for just one driver ;-).
