This looks quite hacky. Can 't you create functions with that > "restore the bssid" and "go to dummy bssid" and call them instead?

If you like, we can rename the handle_idle function to something more generic. -Juuso -- 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
