Agreed.

Works for me.. Though, it looks like that you will at least need to
disable dbus from .config to build test_wlan. Please send me the .config
file you are using if there are more issues with the test_wpa build.

Strictly speaking, test_wpa is not integration of hostapd to
wpa_supplicant, but integration of functionality from both hostapd and
wpa_supplicant into a new program. However, I would expect that the RSN
authenticator code from hostapd can be linked with wpa_supplicant as
well. 'make link_test' is actually linking in most of the object files
from both wpa_supplicant and hostapd. It ends up producing a binary that
has wpa_supplicant functionality and lot of unused code from hostapd,
i.e., it is just a test to make it easier to notice any symbol
conflicts.
