*
+ * @NL80211_CMD_CONTROL_PORT_FRAME: Control Port (e.g. PAE) frame TX request
+ * and RX notification. This command is used both as a request to transmit
+ * a control port frame and as a notification that a control port frame
+ * has been received. %NL80211_ATTR_FRAME is used to specify the
+ * frame contents. The frame is the raw EAPoL data, without ethernet or

+ * When used as an event indication %NL80211_ATTR_CONTROL_PORT_ETHERTYPE,
+ * %NL80211_ATTR_CONTROL_PORT_NO_ENCRYPT and %NL80211_ATTR_MAC are added

* @NL80211_CMD_RELOAD_REGDB: Request that the regdb firmware file is reloaded.
*
+ * @NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH: This interface is exclusively defined for host
+ * drivers that do not define separate commands for authentication and
+ * association, but rely on user space for the authentication to happen.
+ * This interface acts both as the event request (driver to user space)
+ * to trigger the authentication and command response (userspace to
+ * driver) to indicate the authentication status.
+ *
+ * User space uses the %NL80211_CMD_CONNECT command to the host driver to
+ * trigger a connection. The host driver selects a BSS and further uses
+ * this interface to offload only the authentication part to the user
+ * space. Authentication frames are passed between the driver and user
+ * space through the %NL80211_CMD_FRAME interface. Host driver proceeds
+ * further with the association after getting successful authentication
+ * status. User space indicates the authentication status through
+ * %NL80211_ATTR_STATUS_CODE attribute in %NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH
+ * command interface.
+ *
+ * Host driver reports this status on an authentication failure to the
+ * user space through the connect result as the user space would have
+ * initiated the connection through the connect request.
