Hi Sergey, Sorry for the long delay. On Tue, 2017-12-05 at 23:31 +0300, Sergey Matyukevich wrote:
By the way, speaking about GET_CMD_BEACON and its possible users in the community. There is already a stub for it in nl80211 uapi headers. What was the original idea for that ? Or was it just a placeholder added together with SET_BEACON ?
I think it was a placeholder, you can probably find it in git history. I vaguely remember thinking - many years ago - that all the operations should consistently support add, del, set and get, but that isn't really all that practical. johannes
