What is "mixed cell configuration" anyway? As far as I know, it is an option that allows the client to associate with a network that has a mismatch in the privacy setting (with its own configuration). This would only happen in case the same SSID/beacon frame were to be used to advertise multiple networks with conflicting security policies (open and encryption), i.e., a "mixed cell". > > No, but iwpriv..

I'm perfectly fine with doing this any other way, so no problems there, and I can also accept that there is unfortunate lack of documentation for many of the parameters. -- 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
