Hi. Curious if there is a way to distinguish between the various failure modes when failing to make an association to an AP. In particular, I'd love to distinguish between these two states: * User entered incorrect password * User entered correct password, but the AP rejected them for some other reason (perhaps signal was too weak, or the AP is using MAC address filtering, or they couldn't negotiate a common encryption/authentication protocol, or whatever). Does the Linux wireless stack support a way for applications to gather this information? Are the "reason=0x00" bytes, sometimes displayed by wpa_supplicant in the logs, standardized across all AP's? This seems to be a common problem, because on many distributions, I see NetworkManager constantly popping up the password entry box whenever an association fails, when the user already knows the password is correct (and in fact has entered it into the box already, as it's pre-filled in the box, albeit starred out). Thanks!
