:) May I ask you to take a look at nl80211 to see if it matches your expectations/needs? It obviously needs to be expanded and we may want to add some multicast groups that applications can subscribe to for scan results/radar detection/management frames/... What really should be done soon is implementing transmit status notification for injected packets since injection is already working. I just happen to not need it at the moment and have a bunch of other things to do. > Once there is mechanism to replace all the current functionality, I > would just drop it.

That meta information can be transmitted through other channels too though :) johannes - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
