+ * Before using this in a driver that does not use mac80211, it would be better
+ * to check the status of that work and better yet, volunteer to work on it.

+ * scan results)
+ * @peer_addr: The address of the peer STA (AP BSSID in infrastructure case);
+ * this field is required to be present; if the driver wants to help with
+ * BSS selection, it should use (yet to be added) MLME event to allow user
+ * space SME to be notified of roaming candidate, so that the SME can then
+ * use the authentication request with the recommended BSSID and whatever
+ * other data may be needed for authentication/association
+ * @ssid: SSID or %NULL if not yet available
+ * @ssid_len: Length of ssid in octets
+ * @auth_type: Authentication type (algorithm)
