Ok, tested it. Looks better, but still doesn't work 100% for me at least
yet. It doesn't scan automatically, so, I cannot associate. Is it related
to this comment:
/* We are not setting the status, because ieee->state is not updated
* at all and this driver doesn't track authentication state.
*/
Adding
up iwlist eth1 scanning
to interfaces doesn't help for some reason - only calling it manually
helps.
Ok, I can work around it with a dreadful hack. You have to do:
ifconfig eth1 up
iwlist scan
iwconfig eth1 essid ...
to trick ifup to do all that I've done:
iface eth1 inet static
address 1.0.0.0
netmask 255.0.0.0
broadcast 1.255.255.255
up iwlist eth1 scanning
up iwconfig eth1 essid "xxx"
up dhclient eth1
instead of just doing
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
up iwconfig wlan0 essid "xxx"
ugly... Can we improve it?
Besides, it is very nice to see all "visible" APs as "Quality=100/100
Signal level=100/100", but it is hard to believe it:-)
Thanks
