Hi Jouni, The purpose of the config parameter is to allow the user to give a preference for over-the-DS vs over-the-air. From a performance perspective, over-the-air should be the fastest and therefore the preferred choice. However, since support for over-the-air is mandatory when a device supports FT and over-the-DS is optional, over-the-air would always be selected even when over-the-DS is advertised by the AP.

Shouldn't wpa_supplicant select automatically the best approach without requiring this type of user configuration parameter? -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA _______________________________________________ Hostap mailing list Hostap@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/hostap
