iw: strange output

iw: strange output

[Holger Schurig]

I'm using

* wpasupplicant: hostap_0_6_7-490-g52eb293
* iw: v0.9.17-1-gdbaabba
* linux-wl: v2.6.31-rc8-34797-g4910edb
* some ath5k.ko supported card


For wpa_supplicant, I'm currently using the wext driver.

When I associate while "iw event" is running, I see the following
strange output:

eth1 (phy #0): scan finished: 2412, "g\xc6isQ\xffJ\xec)\xcd\xba\xab\xf2\xfb\xe3F|\xc2T\xf8\x1b\xe8\xe7\x8dvZ.c3\x9f\xc9\x9a"

Is that garbage at the end intentional?




P.S.: when I'm using nl80211 driver for wpa_supplicant, I seem
to be associated, but no ping goes throught.

the wext driver sets a random SSID to "disconnect".

I can also confirm that. It appears to be a regression from the "big
state machine monster is no more" change.

Works fine here in a whole bunch of cases, you're both going to have to
be more specific.
