wificond on wext based wifi driver

[Coo Ma]

Hi everyone,

I am porting a wifi driver that is developped base on wext API on Android 9, and noticed that a new standalone service named "wificond" was introduced from android 8. By some google works, I knew that it takes over wifi toggle, scan, scan_result operations  which were done by wpa_supplicant at previous releases, and communicate with Wi-Fi drivers over standard nl80211 commands.

So can I conclude  that wext api based wifi drivers will not be supported on android 8 and later releases ?

Best Regards
