<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2> My 'iwlist ath0 scan' differs completely from what wpa_supplicant<BR>
sees in its scan (with scan_ap=1 or scan_ap=0). wpa_supp sees<BR>
maybe one AP out of a dozen the iwlist scan sees. Doesn't it<BR>
use the same kernel driver as iwlist with scan_ap=0 and if so<BR>
what gives?<BR>
<BR>
How do I reconcile wpa_supp with iwlist scan so that I can get<BR>
wpa_supp to associate with the AP I hav ready for all manner of<BR>
testing? (it will associate with an AP it finds in its scan<BR>
ok, the scan is the problem here)<BR>
<BR>
My wpa_supplicant conf is excruciatingly simple:<BR>
<BR>
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant<BR>
ctrl_interface_group=0<BR>
eapol_version=1<BR>
ap_scan=0<BR>
# Plaintext connection (no WPA, no IEEE 802.1X)<BR>
network={<BR>
ssid="nexthop"<BR>
key_mgmt=NONE<BR>
}<BR>
<BR>
Thanks in advance for looking at this<BR>
