I really wonder what sort of error handling strategy that is, even if it's done for regulatory compliance purposes I don't see a need to crash the whole card. Especially considering that the userspace MLME in wpa_supplicant will scan by itself (yes, it scans in userspace, whether or not you may like that), of course it would be made comply with regulatory settings but that makes it hard to develop. > I personally wish to not make SW scanning possible at all for that reason. That is not going to happen since you can always "scan" by sending probe requests manually. > At last iwlwifi HW scanning can handle up to 4 essids for direct scan > but currently wireless tools interface cannot utilize this. Does anybody actually *want* that? I personally dislike the behaviour of scanning for all previously known SSIDs actively when hidden SSIDs are so uncommon, I see it as an information disclosure vulnerability. johannes
