From: Petr Štetiar Date: Fri, 27 Oct 2023 07:37:52 +0000 (+0000) Subject: hostapd: fix broken WPS on broadcom-wl and ath11k X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6dca88aa4acd60229147628cb920d05a1136666d;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblocktrron.git hostapd: fix broken WPS on broadcom-wl and ath11k Upgrading wpa_supplicant from 2.9 to 2.10 breaks broadcom-wl/ath11k based adapters. The reason for it is hostapd tries to install additional IEs for scanning while the driver does not support this. The kernel indicates the maximum number of bytes for additional scan IEs using the NL80211_ATTR_MAX_SCAN_IE_LEN attribute. Save this value and only add additional scan IEs in case the driver can accommodate these additional IEs.
