Peoples!

I've had these two commits lurking in my tree for ages, never having
quite got the courage up to commit the darn things as I feel well out of
my depth & comfort zone.

They're as a result of https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/916121/ which
I've had assigned to me for an equally long time.

There were concerns about the size increase by support 11r & 11w which
prompted the idea of generating a 'wpad-basic' variant for the tiny
targets with limited flash space and adding a whizbang special effects
to the normal variant.

I'd like to keep that very nice Mr Woodhouse happy, and was/am going to
discuss this at the conference to get some help/advice etc, but it's
probably best to send this in now so people can formulate a response in
advance.

Help, guidance appreciated.... shouting less so but if need be :-)

Kevin

And I should mention, credit, thank that nice Mr Kresin for doing the ‘switch to basic’ patch for relevant targets.

Cheers,

I already though about something similar.
But when I look at all the different build variants we have I think this
is too much, it confuses me.
I think we have 3 classes of devices 4MB flash, 8MB flash and 16MB+ flash.
I would use two variants with openssl and wolfssl which supports
everything, so the full variant which then also includes MESH and P2P.
There we probably only need wpad and not wpa_supplicant and hostapd.

Then the bigger question is what do we need on the constrained devices?
