1,CnfHostAuthentication is just for Authentication in version 2.3 prism 
programming manual, How about Host Association? I noticed that in version 
3.0 ,the item is changed to HostAthenAssoc.Did you all follow the rules of 
version 2.3 when you develop the driver in old days?
 2, How can driver get the notification and issue an Authentciation command 
back to firmware? Can you show me an example?
 3, When I get a management frame at driver, How can I put it to user space 
process directly? Raw socket or netlink? I found that management frames are 
dropped at calling p80211_rx_typedrop() in p80211_rx_bh() function 
 look my subject "what the code mean?"
 Best regards
