Hi Johannes,

It seems we are having an interworking issue here. During the P2P LISTEN 
state, should probe requests be reported on the P2P_DEVICE interface or 
on the primary interface? The probe response from wpa_supplicant should 
be sent on the P2P_DEVICE interface for sure, right? We need a consensus 
here on what behaviour is required.

Regards,
Arend
