There is more interesting stuff available which needs someone to look into, eg. briding support and VLANs. I guess the bridging stuff is required to get 11r running. 11w though requires hardware support if I'm not totally of. There are even a lot of 11n options available which are currently not supported nor in any other way tunable, this requires stack work, not only for the supplicant but also for ifconfig. -- Bernhard
