hmm... another month of fun. ;)
no really, the problem is that "my" hardware (aka: prism54 fullmac) does all
the mac-management, encryption/decryption, AP-Management,... in the firmware.
And all "management" operation are wrapped into a simple unique
4-byte "Operation ID"... That's why the WEXT "would be better" for that
thing...
(Or, do I mix everything up and nl80211 has "nothing" to do with devicescape's
networkstack d80211?)
