hostapd supports external registrars, but it does not implement the full

No and I'm not aware of any plans to do so either in the future. As far
as I can tell, no WPS implementation supports this part of the
specification. Do you have any particular reasons for using some of the
missing functionality?

I don't think there are known issues in this area, but obviously this
depends on the combination of hostapd and rest of the system (mainly,
the hw/firmware/driver/802.11 stack and integration with them). In other
words, this will require running through the tests with the full system.
I don't know whether anyone can share results of this with 0.6.9 version
of hostapd and many specific version of madwifi.

In WiFi WPS test plan, for a test case External WLAN Manager
registrar support is <br>
required. But with the Hostapd- 0.6.9 this support is not working.<br>
To Pass certification, we need this support .<br>
Can anybody provide me some information on this feature.<br>
