I have been most interested in knowing whether the result was after the scan request or not; not necessarily receiving during the scan request itself. > scan trigger, seq 5: > find AP 'XXX', signal -50 > find AP 'YYY', signal -60 > scan trigger, seq 6: > find AP 'ZZZ', signal -55 > normal operation: > beacon for 'YYY' comes in, signal -45 > scan-dump: > get 'XXX', signal -50, seq 5 > get 'ZZZ', signal -55, seq 6 > get 'YYY', signal -45, but with which seq? seq 6 based on the earlier discussion. However, there would be an option to increment the sequence number whenever a scan is terminated, i.e., the move to normal operation would move to seq 7 and 'YYY' would actually show up with seq 7 here. The scan trigger command would return the sequence number for that particular scan (6 for the second one), so it would be possible to notice the difference between ZZZ and YYY. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA -- 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
