Hi, This change happened because no driver required the SSID, and many drivers were using it incorrectly. I'd be happy to add it back for an in-kernel driver where I can see that it is needed, but _very_ reluctant to do it for a driver I've never seen. So please add it back in a patch that you use for development, finish your driver, and then when it comes time to post your driver upstream you can also post the relevant mac80211 patch. Oh also please don't develop against 2.6.29, it is _ancient_. johannes On Mon, 2009-12-07 at 11:51 +0530, Bharat Bhushan wrote: > hello gentlemen, > > i am trying to implement an open source mac > base driver with kernel base version 2.6.29, for association > completion my hardware requires an api with ssid to be sent. but i > could not find any api from mac80211.h which contain ssid element > except hw_scan which i cannot use as ssid should be sent before > association ,few days back i implement the same driver with kernel > version 2.6.27 and i use to get ssid in ieee80211_if_conf structure in > config_interface api but now this is deprecated , any particular > reason why this change happen, is there any other way i can get ssid > through any interface. > > > > Any help is much appreciated. > > > Thanks > > bharat > -- > 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 >
