In the case of SAE AP, drivers offload authentication to user-space software, e.g. hostapd. For FullMAC drivers the procedure is as follows. If auth_type is SAE and user space indicates external authentication capability, then driver requests authentication offload to user-space software using cfg80211_external_auth_request call. From that point, auth frame exchange is performed transparently for driver: user-space software sends/receives mgmt frames using mgmt_tx/mgmt_frame_register cfg80211 callbacks. As soon as authenitcation is completed, user-space software notifies driver about its status using external_auth cfg80211 callback.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
