Well, I have placed wpa_supplicant in full debug verbosity output mode, and it's probe/scan does not seem to be aimed at just my router. In fact it gets usually 3 to 5 responses from which it then selects my AP. The wpa_supplicant.conf has the SSID and the BSSID in the configuration. So, how come the probe/scan gets more than one response? -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
