Help with passwordless autonomous P2P-GO

[Aditya Bhave]

Hi Jouni,

The use case is for non P2P clients to connect to the GO. Due to certain
limitations, I am not able to use a regular open network SoftAP.I was able
to connect a large number of clients (Windows/Ubuntu/iOS/Android etc) with
that patch in 1.0

Thanks
