Well, it may work around a completely broken WPS discovery mechanism in
Windows, but it is strictly against the WPS specification and would make
the AP fail some certification tests. Then again, support of PIN method
is mandatory in those tests, too. What kind of use cases would this AP
be used for? Only to work as a Registrar and only allow use of PBC to
connect Enrollees to the network? I.e., no support for use of PIN from
a label or for entering an Enrollee PIN.
