Hello Jouni Malinen,

The mailing list of wpa_supplicant seems to be down. I will provide feedback to your email address instead.

wpa_cli's interactive mode prompt can retain history of terminal commands/outputs. I want to have a way to clear the specified prompt history. Is there a way to do this? I know this request may sound like hacking for wifi network snooping, but I rather not leave wifi network information traces. Of course, disabling the wifi network connection after wifi use and removing the associated network after disabling is a safety precaution.
