Thanks for the ping, but no not really. I just noticed the mac address 
in the p2p-dev create request is the null address and I recall that is 
handled, but I will need to look into that. I will get back to you if I 
have done so. Feel free to ping again when it is taking to long ;-)

Now the error is only an issue if you intend to setup a P2P connection 
with some other device. For running in station or AP mode you can ignore 
this. So if you have any specific issue and suspect this to be causing 
it, please elaborate on the specific issue you see.

Regards,
Arend
