nl80211 feature flags
Hi Johannes,
I intended to add a feature flag, but it seems filled up completely on mac80211-next tree. Did you already have an idea how to extend this?
Regards,
Arend

Yeah, I noticed that before, but I didn't have a plan yet.
I think since the features are documented as a u32 attribute we can't extend them very well. I think we probably have to add another attribute
- but maybe we should define the new one as a u8 array or so to begin with (like e.g. the extended capabilities information element)

Agreed. I was thinking in that direction as well. I will include it in the series we are preparing for 4-way handshake offload.
