I have a device where the current channel is shown to user-space, e.g. the operator. We used that to find out on what channel the current AP is. Or, when the channel is constantly changing, that the system is still searching for a matching access-point. I know that for both things there are other ways to query the same information, but it's convenient nethertheless. But one thing for which is no other way is to see the actual channel-changes due to the search for a new AP. If such a thing would be important (it isn't for me), maybe a nl80211 broadcast would be better than, thought. -- 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
