[-- Attachment #1 --] Sounds great. But why is it not possible to port nl80211.h? Could you give me the reasons? Also, I would like to tackle this task. Or at least try to do it. If you can help me with that by providing more info on how you think that could be done, I would appreciate it so much. Thanks! On Sat, Jul 27, 2024, 11:58 PM Bjoern A.
