NL80211 Interface Driver porting In Android 6

[ThanarajS]

Hi All,

   Currently we are working on Android 6 driver porting using nl80211 interface. We have inserted the driver and interface is up using nl80211 driver, but wpa_supplicant is not running in nl80211 interface. can anyone give solution to compile wpa_supplicant and running wpa_supplicant using nl80211 interface.

Wpa_supplicant:

Error: Failed to initialize wpa_supplicant

Hostapd:
