No, but some of them can be assumed to be used with iwpriv.. First one is useful should one be interested in WFA certifications tests. Scan flags can be useful in filtering out scan results in cases where there are huge numbers of APs around. I could agree with the other ones being more or less useless here. > --- wireless-dev.orig/net/mac80211/ieee80211_sta.c 2007-08-15 14:04:46.906516958 +0200 > +++ wireless-dev/net/mac80211/ieee80211_sta.c 2007-08-15 14:07:46.486516958 +0200 > @@ -3931,34 +3922,6 @@ ieee80211_sta_scan_result(struct net_dev > - if (!(local->scan_flags & IEEE80211_SCAN_EXTRA_INFO)) > - break; > - memset(&iwe, 0, sizeof(iwe)); > - iwe.cmd = IWEVCUSTOM; > - sprintf(buf, "bcn_int=%d", bss->beacon_int); > - iwe.u.data.length = strlen(buf); > - current_ev = iwe_stream_add_point(current_ev, end_buf, &iwe, > - buf); > - > - memset(&iwe, 0, sizeof(iwe)); > - iwe.cmd = IWEVCUSTOM; > - sprintf(buf, "capab=0x%04x", bss->capability); > - iwe.u.data.length = strlen(buf); > - current_ev = iwe_stream_add_point(current_ev, end_buf, &iwe, > - buf); Even if you end up removing scan_flags, you could leave these pieces of information available in scan results. -- 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
