Reassigning to the linux package. Seems like the orinoco driver for this
pccard wrongly reports supporting scans, and this is why NM uses
ap_scan=1 rather than ap_scan=2:
/* Check for the ability to scan specific SSIDs. Until the scan_capa
* field gets added to wireless-tools, need to work around that by
casting
* to the custom structure.
*/
scan_capa_range = (struct iw_range_with_scan_capa *) ⦥
if (scan_capa_range->scan_capa & NM_IW_SCAN_CAPA_ESSID) {
priv->has_scan_capa_ssid = TRUE;
nm_log_info (LOGD_HW | LOGD_WIFI,
"(%s): driver supports SSID scans (scan_capa
0x%02X).",
nm_device_get_iface (NM_DEVICE (self)),
scan_capa_range->scan_capa);
} else {
nm_log_info (LOGD_HW | LOGD_WIFI,
"(%s): driver does not support SSID scans
(scan_capa 0x%02X).",
nm_device_get_iface (NM_DEVICE (self)),
scan_capa_range->scan_capa);
}
If the scan_capa parameter (which comes from the kernel, essentially a
SIOCGIWRANGE ioctl call) returns 0x01, ap_scan=1 is used, otherwise NM
uses ap_scan=2 for wpasupplicant.
