question about wpa and ifconfig scan

2008-03-06 Thread sung.park 
Hello, 

 

I have a FreeBSD server which provides access point and DHCP. 

 

I have a FreeBSD computer which is client of access point.  I’m using WPA
encryption for security of wireless connection. 

The client box has solid connection until I type 

 

Ifconfig ath0 scan

 

After scan all of access point it lose connection from access point.  Is
there any way to prohibit losing connection after scan?  

 

Thanks

I think this is the expected behavior unless your hw supports background
scanning (try ifconfig ath0 bgscan, if it gives SIOCS80211: Invalid
argument then it doesn't :-).

You can use
ifconfig ath0 list scan
to get the latest scan result without initiating a new scan.

Note that the 'scan' command given as non-root user is the same as the
list scan -- a normal user won't be able to cause the disconnection by
issuing a 'scan' command.

Hope this helps,
