We use other IW_AUTH settings too. Ok so that means we definitely need the individual settings. I thought so, but wanted to make sure. > We certainly need the individual settings.

Do I read that as "I don't care if we get the IE"? Putting the IE there has the advantage that you can easily play with new things for cards that use the IE by sticking a few more IEs into the attribute. But it has the disadvantage that cards behave differently if you give them contradictory settings. Maybe we need a way to ask a card which one it wants. johannes --=-ePqGCI/z8Fnuzel3P+op Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iD8DBQBGCjm//ETPhpq3jKURAuPEAJ41J62uHX1anGv13jmH9t2frqbISACeKPkz nFTtIh/fE8DXf2nAJUD0eRo= =AsoE -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-ePqGCI/z8Fnuzel3P+op--
