It should do. Basically if your card does not support scanning then you have a few choices 1) Hard code the ESSID - this only works when you only use one AP 2) Hard code a list of ESSID's - this works fine as long as you only use the AP's in the list. However, it's slow as it attempts to connect to each in the specified order. 3) Use the ESSID "ANY" - this forces the driver to associate with an AP that it chooses - you have no control over which one it selects. If not, pester me in IRC so I can fix it. --=20 Roy Marples Gentoo Linux Developer --=-vH+1t8fAdAx9LJisWwb+ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBClb4WMfrAiBQZ0f4RAtROAJ4vLQC/HoO+vC0LBIqdX5z/GveqzQCaAvZ2 LBoy4kxJUj4JXXC6X6upEpQ= =LjLz -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-vH+1t8fAdAx9LJisWwb+-- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
