[ath9k-devel] 802.11k support in ath9k

[Kathiravan Thirumoorthy]

Hi Folks,

I am thinking to work on 802.11k. To start up with this, I would be keen 
to know if ath9k supports RRM(802.11k) functionality?
Looking for your valuable feedback and suggestions to start with.
Thanks in advance.

I would suggest you to start investigation on your own. I'm not sure,
but probably you should take a look at hostapd and linux/net/wireless -
most of 802.11k work should happen on upper levels.

How do you generate this frames and where did you get this error?

So far i can see, there was no work done on 802.11k - no patches (Fixme
if i'm wrong).

I would suggest you, to start discussion on linux-wireless and hostapd
maeling lists. Most of changes will go to mac80211 and hostpad or
wpa_sup..  Probably first of all you will need to implement monitoring
for 80211k. For example tcpdump and wireshark should be able to decode
it. It will make your work easier.
