The nl80211 interface does not currently support drivers that handle
Probe Request processing internally (or well, likely in the firmware).
There are number of drivers that would require this type of mechanism,
but no one has submitted a suitable patch to do that in
cfg80211/nl80211 yet, so wpa_supplicant cannot support it either. If no
one else gets to this soon, I'll come up with proposed changes to
cfg80211 in the not too distant future.
