This is the station's view of the BSS once it is associated. In fact, the primary use intended for this is to verify that the station's view of the BSS parameters matches that of the AP. After looking a little closer, it looks more for iw, it should show up in the output of "iw link", as part of the output of the hidden "iw link get_sta" command, but from the kernel perspective, the API would be the same. -- Paul -- 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
