Does this really actually happen? Why would wpa_s select automatic when
it knows it's going to be open?


You are right and it does not happen with wpa_s. However, it does
'actually really happen' :-)

:-)
Just curious.

when using iw to connect to an unsecure AP.

Right but then checking for RSN/WPA won't make a difference? I guess I
don't really understand the code, so you better ignore me ;-)

Hi Johannes,

I would not go that far. I guess what you are really asking is whether auth_type will ever be set to automatic when we do get a RSN/WPA ie and I have to admit you got a point there.

John,

Can you pull this patch out of the series.

Regards,
Arend
