Drivers able to correctly replace a in-use key should set @NL80211_EXT_FEATURE_CAN_REPLACE_PTK0 to allow the user space (e.g. hostapd or wpa_supplicant) to rekey PTK keys. The user space must detect a PTK rekey attempt and only go ahead with it when the driver has set this flag. If the driver is not supporting the feature the user space either must not replace the PTK key or perform a full re-association instead. Ignoring this flag and continuing to rekey the connection can still work but has to be considered insecure and broken. Depending on the driver it can leak clear text packets or freeze the connection and is only supported to allow the user space to be updated.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
