I'm not sure; I think maybe we need to treat the associated case differently? In that case, we know what the SSID is we're supposedly connected to, so we could update that entry. thanks for your inputs, i will try do that. I can update the parameters not only based on whether the BSS is found, also based on if its an associated entry, however still we maintain an additional entry for the hidden-SSID AP . thanks, shafi 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
