Thanks for your reply, John !
We want to go beyond and find more details about the commit message of
each
patch. Is there any way to access "SVN-Revision: 23602" info ?
I guess back at the days of subversion nobody really left more than
one line of a commit message. So what you see above is all there is.
Also whether these patches were already sent for upstream review ? We
were
planning to upstream these patches to hostapd.
No and at least I believe it would be quite difficult to do so.
Thanks for your response Daniel !
Can we have these patches in upstream for supporting the AP +STA mode as
the way present in OpenWrt ? ( only wpa_s on STA interface and hostapd
on AP
interface )
The direction of the hostap project seems to be to cover most AP
functionality in wpa_supplicant and have a single process for all
virtual interfaces (or even all radios in a system).
This is how it is done on Android or how NetworkManager creates
a tethering AP.
I understand that this can't be generic solution for devices running
single process
and wpa_s doing AP stuff. Our intention was to make these patches
available in
upstream at least for repeater use case where (AP+STA) mode will be
following their
associated root AP channel switch events.
Your thoughts please !
On OpenWrt we do things differently and run hostapd for all AP
interfaces and wpa_supplicant for all client and mesh interfaces of
an individual radio. Only this makes signalling between hostapd and
wpa_supplicant necessary.
Any thoughts ?
