RE: [ipw3945-devel] mac80211/iwlwifi + hidden ssids

Hi,

Engineers here have brought to my attention that this has been going on
for several projects and has been reported in Bugzilla on 2915, 3945 and
now the current. I can't get into the old data bases to provide bug
ID's. So I can't provide more details.

I am wondering why it keeps getting over looked? Have we narrowed it
down to where it is failing?

Hmmm...doesn't the iwlwifi firmware intercede in scanning?
