I am indeed using the Host AP driver. I found that the set_generic_element is implemented like this in .4.4 (version I'm using): set_rid(local->dev, HFA384X_RID_GENERICELEMENT, buf, len + 2); I tried doing <br>set_rid_word 0xFC48 37 with iwpriv to see if that would work, but got:
<br>Interface doesn't accept private ioctl...<br>set_rid_word (8BEE): Invalid argument<br><br>What could be the reason for that? Is the feature supported in 0.4.4 or should I upgrade the kernel? I'll check out git in the meantime.
