I'll do more testing for 3945. Me neither. iwl3945's HW scan has always worked properly on my system. It's a 32bit Core2Duo with latest stable vanilla kernel and latest compat-wireless driver and mac80211 subsystem. Never had a single problem with it. Just a proper-work report. Thank you for a driver that - at least on my system - is working great (even from the speed point of view, but that's another topic). >> Honestly I'm tempted to change it to "enable_hw_scan" instead... > > Give the advantages, I'd like to use it if we can fix the bug (I haven't > seen what the bug is myself).

There is no such problem for 4965, right? - -- Filippo Zangheri GPG key ID: 0x6C1F2F2F -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFIUjROjzxMG2wfLy8RApPjAJ4sUw0x9TcLYOh/YdIxV/hFWeUbCwCfWaLK Wk97c4XkgpxvN8RNvzNefJA= =Gn9F -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- 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
