Sure, no objection to that. However, just arbitrarily adding a "change channel" call, without thinking about the realities of the code already supporting multi-channel concurrency, remain-on-channel and hw-scan operations won't get us very far and just lead to issues with the API. > But, to do that, we need the low-level settings sent to user-space > (such as current channel).

I'd just like to ask that the API is actually useful in more than the default single-channel support BSS-only case :) johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
