Hi Johannes,

Internally I am asked to look at "pmk plumbing" patches allowing
firmware to deal with 4-way handshake. Now I noticed this topic being
discussed during last wireless workshop in Santa Fe [1].

I do not recall any follow-up after that. At least no concrete patches,
right? Also in wpa_supplicant there is already a solution using QCA
vendor command. Should we aim to adopt just that or are there
issues/requirements not covered by that.

Regards,
Arend

I don't think we should adopt a QCA vendor command as the official
solution :)

We do have a patch internally, I'll send it out - we just haven't
managed to release the driver for it yet.
