> I want to delete this behavior because I'm developing an > application which do that alone. Please look at wpa_supplicants behavior when you configure ap_scan= and scan_ssid=. With them, you can configure wpa_supplicant to not issue scan requests on it's own. Then your user-space app can do the monitoring, scanning (via nl80211) issue a command to wpa_supplicant to authenticate to some AP. Another option would be to look into network-manager and see what it offers. But basically, mac80211 has inferior support for roaming compared to some older solutions. Some examples: with madwifi, I can tell the driver to only scan on channels 1,6,11. That's not exactly standards-conforming, but can speed up roaming considerably, because a full scan is now way shorter. mac80211 doesn't support such a thing directly. It just occurs to me that you might be able to do something like with with a special regulatory daemon. Or with orinoco, you could define a level when to roam (e.g. at what SNR/RSSI/whatever it is based on). mac80211 doesn't have this. I'm quite sure that this will be eventually done, and then you have the same seamless roaming with all/most of your WLAN cards, where with the pre-mac80211 only some of the card did somewhat well and other cards were only usable for hot-spot operation. -- http://www.holgerschurig.de -- 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
