Maybe mac80211 should have a "grace period" of 0.5 seconds or so to allow other settings to be set before the scanning starts? The same applies to other events causing scanning, such as bringing up the interface. It's too short to be noticeable, yet long enough for the next command to run even on slow systems. I think setting the key should not cause reassociation if there is an association. It can break some schemes where the WEP key changes periodically on both sides. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin - 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
