Hello linux-wireless, I'm a developer of libdrc, a project that allows Linux computers to control a Wii U GamePad. Because of how the device operates, our library needs to be able to read the TSF value of the access point device from userland. We currently have a hacky patch that works for our use cases, but it would be a lot more convenient if that feature could be upstreamed. What would be the best way to proceed?That patch ... let's say I think "hacky" is almost lauding it. :) sysfs is a really bad place for this too, no other wireless APIs use sysfs.
What do you recommend as the best place to export this kind of information? -- Pierre "delroth" Bourdon [off-list ref] Software Engineer @ Zürich, Switzerland http://code.delroth.net/
