    nl80211: Event notifications for MLME events · 6039f6d2
    Jouni Malinen 提交于
    Add new nl80211 event notifications (and a new multicast group, "mlme")
    for informing user space about received and processed Authentication,
    (Re)Association Response, Deauthentication, and Disassociation frames in
    station and IBSS modes (i.e., MLME SAP interface primitives
    MLME-AUTHENTICATE.confirm, MLME-ASSOCIATE.confirm,
    MLME-REASSOCIATE.confirm, MLME-DEAUTHENTICATE.indicate, and
    MLME-DISASSOCIATE.indication). The event data is encapsulated as the 802.11
    management frame since we already have the frame in that format and it
    includes all the needed information.
    
    This is the initial step in providing MLME SAP interface for
    authentication and association with nl80211. In other words, kernel code
    will act as the MLME and a user space application can control it as the
    SME.
