Why do we accept it? We send out a frame and then do nothing else. * Then I thought "iwconfig wlan1 essid off" - but that fails with -EINVAL due to ieee80211_sta_find_ibss It seems to me that either one of those, or both, should actually turn off beaconing. johannes --=-e1vPZirTMQShIoiei3k2 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iQIcBAABAgAGBQJJjEGsAAoJEKVg1VMiehFYFS0P/j/ScWvVnv2/TAf3YEfcDh3N 7WzElWigAYiq0Oth91q0ldEWlRqnySVus6UB5PsTAcN5R5TsD79nr9HVI/sJ2Lhb axibd6wbUL4/Eid/P+MOusswjg01U/LuBZ2c+s3szSTZHnjzcH0FkMu5DU5G4KrD dqyy6Ia6zNFi0gL3+4PGuZ7VavCgJE1hu0t9BuDPW1zR7mAyn4PecNJcW1xSTtM5 HX2sC9bTd6Xi3dEohSAY63NqNb57DJQ2LaMdYLTUruYft3yKB23tDr5MnR67wv2l Y4DH3HbrjWbn3qMWZzdSP7lQzkBBxSF/dwZQPqxnZykIsKSft+Q7O+chZ/OEN+Zo kw8y+hFU5PUKCTJGEYVozbCfp/jh8yjLSEDjM9KAcPEBHvOLoA6eCItYxG4dXDJv LQ1DZ9HgiJ4DEPWqGpjQcpfaqn/MbsvTZnXfxs+2Cb2p5gZ56A0L+4gA2EyKQyls UhFGmrphdKP3mIw/e5bW74RiypYXc3FhmjmQAQQia8tyeeW9Y/iQ+YKrA+LhU7JE R1nDXDOp5qg9nsg1bnRDlLAQgdJrnNUMDBGc9ggtCCAwbaJijR7XosK1Pv7UZ8Ej tmN0S9UIj6c/5v7ZJ/nyeL77w6dA3i5pOZ2gfdtA94U5VnqFRSKkpOGw+t+VBA3l ZQyWvr3KFz5WFsClHAjM =crA0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-e1vPZirTMQShIoiei3k2--
