How confident are you of this being the full set? I did not use iwlib for two reasons: its license and it not being available (at least at that point in time) by default in many Linux distros. I would expect someone else having the same reasons, but I have to admit that I have not looked into this at all, so this is only a guess. > By the way, I've just released version 29.pre16 which has a > better band aid.

I was kind of hoping to see a nice description of the problem and proposed change in couple of paragraphs of text.. ;-) Anyway, I can see two changes when I diff wireless tools 29.pre14 and pre15 that are clearly related to this. Diff of pre14 vs. pre16 or pre15 vs. pre16 includes more changes and some of them do not seem to be related to issue. Unfortunately I do not have access to any system to test this workaround, so I cannot easily test this myself. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
