Hi, Would anyone be terribly offended if support for non-scanning drivers got removed for the next major version of NetworkManager? I can't think of any driver of consequence [1] right now that doesn't support scanning, since Orinoco got scanning upstream in the kernel around 2.6.12. I think we can expect any wireless card and driver you put into a modern Linux system to support wireless scanning. The benefits are removal of a bunch of code and cleanups of the logic inside NetworkManager for scanning and connection handling.
Thoughts? Dan [1] excluding arlan, netwave_cs, ray_cs, spectrum_cs, wavelan, and wl3501, but all these are legacy drivers, many are pre-802.11b DSS hardware, and I'm 99% sure they aren't supported by wpa_supplicant either. _______________________________________________ NetworkManager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
