At the moment, I read some docs
e.g. ESP32 Wi-Fi AP General Scenario
https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... l-scenario
but that the info is inadequate to implement say a SoftMAC in Linux using mac80211 or some host OS
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/dev ... n/mac80211
could Expressif consider providing an api for mac level access?
the reason is that esp32 maybe has like 1 MB memory, but some host boards has access to ddr(3,4) ram e.g. like 512 MB, 1G, 2G, 4G etc.
and doing an AP requires quite a lot of ram to keep state and e.g. provide encryption etc.
the main interface is the mac80211 design as if that is possible, the AP can be done on the host side e.g. Linux.

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/_media ... c80211.pdf
possibly MS Windows etc would make something similar too
thanks
