nl80211: how to check if that is p2p go or client

[hardik patel]

Hi,

Check below patch for driver_nl80211.c file in supplicant which set
nlmode as NL80211_IFTYPE_P2P_GO

http://hostap.epitest.fi/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?p=hostap.git;a=commit;h=b1f625e0d81b76bb2380d0b47b95f5ad61123ba5


Use supplicant version 0.8.x which have good support for P2P (wifi-direct)

Get latest supplicant from below :

Thanks,
