> Won't this call block? You can't block in the get_wireless > handler (it holds the rtnl lock). See wext_handle_ioctl. Yes, this blocks. So you mean that when I cannot get a current RSSI value at this time I have to re-use some old value? The older code used this schema: when associated: get rssi in-the-background and store it away when AdHoc network created: get rssi in-the-background and store it away in lbs_get_wireless_stats() use stored away RSSI value get rssi in-the-background and store it away The problem with this scheme is that the "stored away RSSI" might be an hour ago. So the first call to to get the wireless stats gives you back a blatant lie. Do you see a way around this? -- 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
