"obviously" ?

In the past, I made quite some thougts about how to best implement PTP
over Wifi.  I may have even written something about it.

In any case, "implement the FTM protocol (sending FTM frames via
nl80211 socket)" was definitely NOT one of the approaches.

Wouldn't it have great to start a discussion before plowing ahead and
hacking something into the kernel?

Oh well.

Thanks,
Richard
