p2p_peer command is not showing intended_addr in auto GO mode

[hardik patel]

Hi Jouni,

Now we did change in GUI so instead of executing p2p_peer command to
get peer address. we are using address which is come in "
AP-STA-CONNECTED 00:0a:bf:45:56:78 " event message. Now it is working
fine.

thanks for giving information for p2p_peer command use.

Thanks,
Hardik
