NAN. Quite a few people contacted me on that matter. Several contacted me privately, others through IRC. I am not sending this series as PATCH since we are not ready on the driver level. And we typically don't want to have APIs that nobody uses. iwlwifi should start supporting NAN early next year (no commitment whatsoever of course). Since I had no comments on this, I think the API is pretty much ready which means that if some courageous application developer wants to start using NAN, I think he can that he can take a decently safe assumption that the API will look as described in this patch series.
