I don't think it's good to advocate a custom driver. They should be able to use stock wpa_supplicant w/ nl80211 and put the extensions in the hardware layer.Can you elaborate?
From the wiki:
"The proper approach would be to provide a custom driver_nl80211_android.c wrapper for the modified wpa_supplicant in Android." I just don't think it's strictly necessary to ship a modified wpa_s. Why is Android special when bog standard Linux gets by ok with driver_nl80211? -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com
