I'd vote for allowing the user to set a mode - just like they're allowed to lock an AP association to a specific MAC, bypassing the hardware roaming algos. I've hit situations in the past where a card can get a very weak 11g link but a perfectly usable 11b link, and the hw did not want to drop back to 11b on its own. Being able to lock to 11b only was key. -m -- Mike Kershaw/Dragorn <dragorn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> GPG Fingerprint: 3546 89DF 3C9D ED80 3381 A661 D7B2 8822 738B BDB1 "Remember the book store down the road?
