Userspace MLME in wpa_supplicant

[Annu Myllyniemi]

I am quite new to WiFi and wpa_supplicant, and have been trying to enable management frame handling 
in my wpa_supplicant-based application. I've been using the MadWifi driver, but started 
experimenting with DadWifi today.

My question is: what would be the best (easiest) way to enable userspace MLME in wpa_supplicant? At 
the moment I get the following compilation errors when I try to compile wpa_supplicant with the 
configuration option CONFIG_CLIENT_MLME=y:

Any hints?
