This says everything about actual implementation work. From one of the
many commit messages by damien@ in this area :
Log message:
split ieee80211_parse_rsn() so the same function can be used
to parse both WPA1 and RSN (WPA2) IEs.
rename ieee80211_parse_edca_params_common() into
ieee80211_parse_edca_params_body() while i'm here.
Work is being done to add support. How is this 'preliminary' ? Is it
only not preliminary when the final commit is made that makes WPA
work ?
Cheers,
Paul 'WEiRD' de Weerd
