Hello,<br>
<br>
I am working with Johannes on the supplicant part of the work that needs to be done. Let me know if there are any specific suggestions.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

We should pick up this discussion again since I've started work on this<br>
in order to be able to have P2P Device address == P2P Interface address<br>
for our driver. I think the addresses should be (pre-)assigned by the<br>
driver.<br>
<br>
The kernel patches to allow having a separate P2P Device in the kernel<br>
(without a netdev!) are here:<br>
