Hi,
BTW, are there any plans regarding porting all the updates Jouni made to
the Linux version of hostap (including per-client keys, 802.1X, use of a
user-mode daemon...), etc? Is somebody working on it already?
Alternatively, is anybody working on having a generic "802.11 AP" netgraph
node? This would require the driver to hand over all 802.11 frames to that
node, and would provide equivalent functionality to the above, and probably
more (one hook per association, for instance). One could also imagine an
802.1X netgraph node...
If nobody is working on that, looks like I should try to start finding out
how kernel programming works ;->
Thanks,
Jacques.
