I was trying to reproduce this issue by modifying my AP not to reply to Probe Request frames on 2.4 GHz band and did not see any problems in getting connected. The station saw both the 2.4 and 5 GHz BSSes from the AP and the 2.4 GHz BSS was selected based on signal strength. mac80211 went through the authentication and association frame exchanges without any problems (and without sending out a directed Probe Request frame). Whether this change was done by design is another question, but at least this seems to be the current behavior. There may still be some issues in wpa_supplicant blacklist handling which I will try to reproduce in some other way since the station should have actually managed to follow the not so polite hint from the AP and try to use the 5 GHz band here. -- 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
