Also, in what cases do you need to assign manually? wpa_s should be able to assign them now, at least for p2p.

Not sure, I guess I'm not convinced this is really needed. johannes -- 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
