Tested using nl80211/iw in a few scenarios, seems to work fine and return the policy back, e.g. kernel reports: integer out of range policy: 04 00 0b 00 0c 00 04 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ^ padding ^ minimum allowed value policy: 04 00 0b 00 0c 00 05 00 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 00 ^ padding ^ maximum allowed value policy: 08 00 01 00 04 00 00 00 ^ type 4 == U32 for an out-of-range case. johannes
