I realized I am missing a piece before this. I need to be able to get and handle nl80211 events, which means that I need a thread or event loop or something that listens to the nl80211 channel and parses events. The event I need is the end of the connection from the CSME side. This brings to the fundamental question of the threading model in NetworkManager. Do we have a sort of event loop? Looks like the NetworkManager runs on an event loop and very few things run in a different thread, but I couldn't really see any clear information about it.
Thoughts?
