Ivo, what would you say on this? Is this important enough to have it in stretch? Jan, as much as I would like to include them, I've been running wpa-supplicant without those on a dual-band AP for quite some time, and it was, well, bearable, so I'm not sure whether we need this on not. OTOH the patch is about three lines long, modifying two thresholds, so it shouldn't be a big deal to have. -- Cheers, Andrew
