Hi In case anyone might be interested, rafl wrote a small wrapper around wpa_ctrl.[ch] in the wpasupplicant sources so one can communicate with wpa_supplicant/hostapd using perl now. It is available for download at http://search.cpan.org/~flora/Wifi-WpaCtrl-0.01/pm/WpaCtrl.pm Feedback (to rafl) is appreciated. Thanks! Kindest regards Stijn Tintel
