Not a stupid question. Sorry for not asking that first.

Right, that seems to be the case.

I never actually claimed you *needed* this flag; I just wondered how you
claimed to pass our test when you did not support this flag, since our
network manager currently checks for both
NL80211_FEATURE_SCAN_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR and
NL80211_FEATURE_SCHED_SCAN_RANDOM_MAC_ADDR before enabling MAC
randomization in scans. But that's no matter to worry about here.

Indeed. We're trying to work that out right now.

It looks like the status quo for looking for SCHED_SCAN support is to
check if NL80211_CMD_START_SCHED_SCAN shows up in the command support
list. (IOW, that's what wpa_supplicant does.) We'll probably need to
imitate that.
