Thanks  Jouni and the link information. I was searching control socket
information from google....

Anyway, from Dan's  comments:
"wpa_supplicant will send events back through the control socket that
you must read and match"

Does the wpa_supplicant provide a control socket we can register our
callback to get events asynchronously? Or, should I use a select
mechanism to get events from control interface?

What are event names and event descriptions that my application can
use? It doesn't look like above link providing that information, I
might blindly miss them?

Thank you.

Kind Regards,

Jim
