No need to do anything in the kernel for that. i know. thats why i never even tried to contribute it upstream. but from hostapd side it was more complicated than just hacking mac80211 and from stations a second mod for wpa_supplicant would be needed and since the dd-wrt webgui just uses nl80211 to show the station table its more comportable and takes less code just todo it within the driver i there is special interest in it i could of course try to clean it up and make a upstream patch out of it > > johannes > >
