Unfortunately this table currently isn't exported by the cfg80211 mpath_dump API. If you really need access to this information from cfg80211 / userspace, then the quickest thing for now would be to hack in support for iterating over both tables. I'm not really sure why the decision was made to go with 2 different path tables (see 79617dee for the initial implementation), but it seems the cleaner approach would be to merge these and stick with the existing mpath_dump commands. -- thomas -- 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
