There's no technical issue, but most felt that BSSID/IBSSID was more understandable to humans when looking at the (normal) output for show-wifi. In any case, this becomes a non-issue if we enhance things so that the field names are omitted when -o is specified. That is, if a script did something like "dladm show-wifi -p -o bssid", it should just get back the values without any field names, since those field names are clear from the script's request. This request is in the aforementioned bug (6515065). -- meem _______________________________________________ networking-discuss mailing list [email protected]
