Hello,
found a weird problem while testing airo with multiple APs: the first scan
correctly shows all APs. After associating to one of them, subsequent scans
only show this single AP.
Tracked the problem down to SIOCSIWAP (airo_set_wap) - the APList rid affects
scan results.
Clearing APList before starting scan and setting it back after scan completes
makes it work (see the patch below). Is that an acceptable solution?
BTW. Instead of being dynamically allocated, APList should be a member of
struct airo_info and track the real card's state. That would simplify this
work-around and also suspend/resume.
