I got the userspace client MLME working with the current wpa_supplicant
0.6.x git version and using -Dnl80211. mac80211 needs two changes for
this to work: cfg80211 vif configuration option for enabling userspace
MLME (I'll send an updated patch for this) and workaround/fix for
ProbeResp frames (BSSID-mismatch) dropping during scan (works with the
patch I sent in the previous message in this thread or alternatively,
could add a mechanism for letting mac80211 know when userspace MLME is
doing scanning if that is considered more preferable; that extension
would add on top of the vif configuration patch to bring in extra
parameters for indicating scan state).
