<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><FONT size=2>Hello Everyone</FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><FONT size=2> I want to use 802.11r+hostapd, the madwifi driver does not provide the<BR>needed functionality. I tried ath5k (with a pending patch to enable AP mode), </FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><FONT size=2>for my access points using nl80211 driver and build the wpa_supplicant with client MLME code </FONT></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><FONT size=2>and used that to replace the implementation in mac80211, after getting wireless-testing<BR>git tree and applying following two patches to it:<BR></FONT><A href="http://w1.fi/wireless-testing/userspace_mlme_allow_bssid_mismatch.patch" target=_blank rel=nofollow><FONT size=2>http://w1.fi/wireless-testing/userspace_mlme_allow_bssid_mismatch.patch</FONT></A><BR><A href="http://w1.fi/wireless-testing/vif_conf.patch" target=_blank rel=nofollow><FONT size=2>http://w1.fi/wireless-testing/vif_conf.patch</FONT></A></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"> </P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><STRONG>I get two different error, one on access point side and other on client side, which are given below.</STRONG></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><STRONG>Is there anybody working on 802.11r+hostapd. what can be the possible reasons for the error.</STRONG></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><STRONG>Should I try a new driver ath9k, if yes. What patches would be required for ath9k, for hostapd and wpa_supplicant.</STRONG></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><STRONG>what is a basic difference between ath5k and ath9k with repect to hostapd (except 802.11n) </STRONG></P>
<P style="MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0in"><STRONG>would you help me...............................</STRONG></P>
