I thought things had gone too smoothly. Oh well.

I have searched in the hostapd mail list for crda in the subject.=20
Nothing found all the way back to mid 2020 when there was a two year=20
break in any mails listed.

I can't find any way to search the body of the mails for any mention of=20
crda and doing a google search for "hostapd crda" didn't flag anything=20
useful up.

So I think I need to mail the hostapd list to see what their plans are=20
to not use crda (with its python2 dependency) in hostapd.

Does anyone have any other thoughts on how to deal with this?

Regards,

Adolf.
