Comment 3 for bug 1718688

Since I don't have access to the actual Cisco hardware for testing I have been experimenting with hostapd lately.

After rebuilding it with CONFIG_P2P_MANAGER=y I was able to reproduce similar behavior as observed with Cisco hw (except for blacklisting) and as described in WiFi P2P spec v1.7 section 3.4.

I was able to prevent my laptop from transmitting any P2P IEs after disabling P2P capabilities with wpa_cli -i <my_wifi> p2p_set disabled 1

This however is different from what may be observed with other WiFi devices/drivers (as mentioned in the description) and the final paragraph of [1] suggests that it may be something missing/broken in the driver.
