Hello! > It will pass in a cfg80211_bss structure instead of all those parameters > once we move all the stuff into cfg80211. This is not mode specific. All members of cfg80211_bss are not known by the user-space without scanning. I don't like the idea of needing the wpa_supplicant for joining an unencrypted network. I want even with nl80211 able to simply call: iw dev wlan0 assoc test_ssid like I now call: iwconfig wlan0 essid test_ssid > True.

Maybe it's easier to design and implement but not necessarily the cleaner and more thought-out API, I think. Alina -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
