Why? Selecting the best BSS from the ESS would sound like a reasonable thing to do for a normal connection. There is sufficient justification to prefer the particular network that was just provisioned during the initial connection following WPS provisioning, but I'm not sure I see the point of somehow preferring the specific BSS that happened to be used for the provisioning step if there is a better AP/radio available in the same network. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
