That's weird. But why does it use ap_scan=2 to start with? With mac80211, ap_scan=1 is *much* much better because it lets wpa_supplicant control much of roaming, mac80211 really is designed that way. I don't see why ap_scan=2 doesn't work though, can you enable some wpa_supplicant debugging and send me the logs? Or can you turn off encryption and see if you can connect to a hidden SSID? I'd think it should work because we do a directed scan so the probe response should tell us the SSID. johannes
