This patchset adds support for multiple BSSID and enhanced multi-BSSID advertisements for AP mode. Individual patches describe the changes in this version.How about adding the trivial advertisement to hwsim so we can have some tests in hostapd? johannesHi Johannes, Yes, I plan to add hwsim advertisement separately once kernel changes are accepted. Will also add hostapd testcases at the same time.OK, great! But adding it in hwsim is a kernel change, so why not just send that patch together? johannes
Hi Johannes, Trivial advertisement will not work because mac80211_hwsim_beacon_tx() does not handle the EMA case which may have more than one beacons transmitted. It will need to be changed to use the newly added ieee80211_beacon_get_template(). Hence I will add a separate change for HWSIM. Thanks.
