Hi Alexander,

btw: what is about security handling... however I would declare this
feature as experimental anyway.

I haven't tested the security layer at all yet, would you have a few
commands to start with, which I could try using eg. hwsim?

Using the dev_queue_xmit() doest not bypasses the whole stack anymore,
the beacons got rejected by the llsec layer. I did just hack into it
just to allow unsecure beacons for now:

Stupid questions: do the beacon frames need to be encrypted? Because
we bypass llsec always with those mlme functionality.

btw: there is currently an issue with the llsec hooks. You will not
see the transmit side being encrypted via wireshark (so far I
remember) because the capture is before encryption...

You can do with hwsim a sniffer device, just create a phy and have
from every node an edge to it, then create a monitor interface on it
and you will see all frames on air correctly encrypted and let
wireshark decrypt it. This is a workaround I had.
