Folks, I have difficulties using iw for a specific use case or fail to understand the documentation correctly.
My platform is a recent OpenWRT, running ath9k. First use case is scanning for a given ssid in managed mode. According do iw's documentation (and the attribute description in nl80211.h), issuing iw dev wlan0 scan flush ssid <SSID> should do exactly this, but I keep receiving a full list of visible APs. I double checked that NL80211_SCAN_FLAG_FLUSH and NL80211_ATTR_SCAN_SSIDS are set correctly, so am puzzled whether there is some bug left or I miss some detail. The second issue is about scanning in AP mode. Where I want to go is having two APs operating on arbitrary DFS channels with periodic scans to discover each other. What I observe is a) passive scanning: iw dev wlan0 scan flush ap-force passive => does not work - no scan results are provided b) active scanning: iw dev wlan0 scan flush ap-force * finds only a subset of APs compared to a scan in managed mode * finds only APs on non-DFS channels Again, I might be missing some relevant documentation, but to me the observed results look rather like 'not yet implemented' than inherent limitations. Any hint / feedback is appreciated.
