This interface allows the host driver to offload the authentication to user space. This is exclusively defined for host drivers that do not define separate commands for authentication and association, but rely on userspace SME (e.g., in wpa_supplicant for the ~WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_SME case) for the authentication to happen. This can be used to implement SAE without full implementation in the kernel/firmware while still being able to use NL80211_CMD_CONNECT with driver-based BSS selection. Host driver sends NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH event to start/abort authentication to the port on which connect is triggered and status of authentication is further indicated by user space to host driver through the same command response interface. User space entities advertise this capability through the NL80211_ATTR_EXTERNAL_AUTH_SUPP flag in the NL80211_CMD_CONNECT request. Host drivers shall look at this capability to offload the authentication.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
