Hi,

I'll appreciate if you can help me out with a few questions regarding
libnl support in Android ICS.

Android ICS contains (in system/core/libnl_2 folder) a "clean room re-
implementation of libnl", as stated in the libnl files. I saw that
many libnl features are missing in this implementation.

Can you elaborate on your future plans regarding libnl support in
Android?
Do you plan to support the full libnl content in the future?

Thanks & BR,
Ilan

Unlikely. We only did a non-GPL re-implementation of the bare minimum
that we needed to run wpa-supplicant 8.

Do you plan to provide JNI lib for Android's libnl implementation?

Hi,

Are there any updates with regards to this topic?
i.e. Do you plan to add more features into libnl for Android?
Any plans to integrate libnl-3 into Android?

Thanks,
  L.D.
