Hi Pradeep,

Thanks much for your prompt reply.
I just want to understand if there is any dependency on firmware for
implementation of 802.11k.

What i understand is that we need to send the action frame command to the
firmware and the firmware takes the initiative to send the packet OTA.
Is my understanding correct?

For example to send the ADDBA request the below is the command which we send
to the firmware.

#define HostCmd_CMD_11N_ADDBA_REQ                     0x00ce

For 802.11k implementation i reckon the corresponding Action command to be
present in the firmware to support this feature.Am i right?

Looking forward for your valuable comments.

Regards,
Kathiravan T.
