getscanlist command redundant?

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Ronak,

wlanconfig contains the "extscan/getscanlist" commands:

extscan
        This command is used to do a specific scan.

        Usage: wlanconfig ethX extscan <SSID>

        Example:
                wlanconfig ethX extscan LINKSYS-AP

        To see the results of use getscanlist command.

getscanlist
        This command is used to get the scan results.

        Usage: wlanconfig ethX getscanlist

        Example:
                wlanconfig ethX getscanlist

What is the purpose of the extscan command? One can achieve same results
by doing a "iwlist ethX scan" and looking for a specific SSID, right? Or
am I missing something? 

And about "getscanlist", I don't see how it provides any additional
information other than "iwlist ethX scan" and "getscantable" ?

-bash-3.1# ./wlanconfig eth0 getscanlist
Driver build with Wireless Extension 21

BSSID:   00:13:46:36:EB:48
SSID:    ult
NetMode: infra
Quality: 216
Privacy: disabled

No of AP's = 1

Thanks
