If I understood correctly, the proposed change was removing 'capab' information from scan results(?). If that is the case, that would break wpa_supplicant network selection since there would be no information on whether the network is using encryption or not (privacy flag) and whether it is a BSS or an IBSS. Consequently, I obviously continue to object this type of change as long as WE is used for getting 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
