Re: [PATCH 1/3] hwsim: remove 'optimization' sending to only known MACs

Which events though?  You should always be getting HWSIM_CMD_ events for _all_ 
radios since only a single hwsim instance is registered, no?  Aren't these all 
you need for the purposes of sending packets to the right radio?

The NL80211 WIPHY events aren't really needed.  We only use these for 
informational purposes (only the name is used, I think?)  I guess we also use 
this information for the radio_ap_only() optimization we do, but we could 
probably solve this another way.
