How would you design implementing support secure peer links? It seems that to do that much of the mesh bookkeeping would need to be done by wpa_supplicant instead of the kernel. In fact, maybe it should always do it and much of this code be migrated into wpa_supplicant's userspace MLME? Peer link establishment, mesh path updating etc. could all be done in wpa_supplicant's userspace MLME, no? If we add all this to the kernel now, would we have to reimplement it in the userspace MLME to support secure peer links? johannes --=-GfRIXh0/ePlUzLakPa/Y Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iQIVAwUAR6pbI6Vg1VMiehFYAQL4mxAAv/8QYgG/WjRwcCHbhmpHcPaZfjYHofti OnGzgOEXB7VcaOb5wWbvR5XgSEFo09WKQ3VRfz8rlVY/1HtA/UqO0G4thVyG2lZT J8TSpKipL6CD3nHUUghin1cpM4tqeCoT+ITx6ldipdjoD+yVtx7R7yl4+DsrjiB2 lm4UPwM1dvRxTeYoONPzwOUM2EdeMuWiY94PspjyDITEwSq/pF3tucu5G4W/eJwA QDIt2aii8M7BwYGhIclyJLnAxf5gb8AVcLsuPARBqucwUQ6JPvJhpYx1YZNO51ZP vNxVjjN53IQB1yw1M0qjVCIWbiGwNM+ovrCXkOiTJWftTBK+4J5zQ2Qu4/jZnudH f/bdj6tKEMMcSfGp3aFw+g6AHYerRtQMyDK1Uzq8HQ55jAx64ShGQ2+lj2iGKFrt rpB8sXPPTz3EjG9+NvquzsSvXHSi3sTCHYHD4DicDf+uDle1QDCOO9+1PfyVagqZ ORJddYdn75IgsVHDr4EgNgDpt83bO4L3UvzNUabMEguE7idQXqJ9rxx2x2elRJ4W UYDjPvbjUdshvKpcNyOx5MezZvvvsuLlFYv2KdQ4l4v/jzJUm6E7416N+vWdgFlY 24zE8qKUb7rAKXr9HrCfbRpiARSv+4UXXBKn3YUu0VbfqWOiZxTIiI+EcSBpfRy/ W7LmdPcIo9Y= =eFe+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-GfRIXh0/ePlUzLakPa/Y--
