Hi All, Last week I have downloaded compat-wireless driver. I have installed the same into my laptop which has AR242x based WiFi card. Though the drivers are loaded correctly, the STA (my laptop) did not associate with the nearby AP. This used to happen well with madwifi driver. With my past experience with the details of madwifi driver, I have browsed through the code base of compat-wireless driver. I observed that with madwifi driver when the device is made up, the scan process is kicked off. Where as the same is not happening in compat-wireless. Does not the scan process need to be kicked off at the end of ieee80211_open (net/mac80211/iface.c)? Also for ath5k driver, both the hw_scan and sw_scan_start are not defined. These two functions are used in ieee80211_start_scan to start the scan process (net/mac80211/scan.c). I observed that the scan process is not started because the above two functions are not defined. Is the scan functionlaity yet to be added? I have verified the TODO list of linux-wireless page. I did not find scan in the agenda. Is some one already implementing the functionality? Please let me know if I need to provide further details.
