Yes, I'll add SSID filtering soon, as separate patches, if that's okay. For now, the SSIDs that you can pass via nl80211 are used in the probe_reqs. We can also filter on RSSI, SNR and/or group results into one event. This are other features that our firmware supports. For now I have not exposed this, but it could also be added to nl80211 in the future. -- Cheers, Luca. -- 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
