Do you mean this? With ap_scan=1, wpa_supplicant does the
scanning & roaming. With ap_scan=2, the WLAN driver does it.
This is from wpa_supplicant's documentation:
--------------------------------------------------------
AP selection depends on ap_scan configuration:
ap_scan=1:
- %wpa_supplicant requests scan with SIOCSIWSCAN
- driver reports scan complete with wireless event SIOCGIWSCAN
- %wpa_supplicant reads scan results with SIOCGIWSCAN (multiple
call if a larget buffer is needed)
- %wpa_supplicant decides which AP to use based on scan results
- %wpa_supplicant configures driver to associate with the
selected BSS
(SIOCSIWMODE, SIOCSIWGENIE, SIOCSIWAUTH, SIOCSIWFREQ,
SIOCSIWESSID, SIOCSIWAP)
ap_scan=2:
- %wpa_supplicant configures driver to associate with an SSID
(SIOCSIWMODE, SIOCSIWGENIE, SIOCSIWAUTH, SIOCSIWESSID)
--------------------------------------------------------
So, which ioctl from wpa_supplicant isn't Libertas? And wouldn't
it be an option to simply add this ioctl? After all, an
unmodified wpa_supplicant run's with a huge range of different
cards via the -Dwext driver ...
