Basically we would have two modes: * whitelist * blacklist (each might or might not be supported by the driver) When a station is on the blacklist it's ignored. When it's on the whitelist it's allowed. When it's on neither, but a list is configured, an event might be sent. When there's a black- & whitelist, the blacklist is this an optimisation to suppress the event, so we don't need a third mode "black- and whitelist supported". johannes -- 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
