Hi,<br>
I'd love to give this new development version a try - but have never
used 'git' before.<br>
Could someone please tell me how to retrieve the latest development
build via git?<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://hostap.epitest.fi/cvs.html">http://hostap.epitest.fi/cvs.html</a><br>
Is not very clear - other than saying that it can be done ;-)<br>
I just need the command line to use with 'git' and I'll hopefully be
rolling...<br>
<br>
We actually have approximately 800 APs in our testing environment with
most of them beaconing with their<br>
full complement of 16 BSSIDs each - so we have quite a few ;-)<br>
<br>
My target clients will not be able to hear them all (luckily) but they
will be able to hear a lot...<br>

Based on a quick test with 2000 APs in scan results, the nl80211 part
for this seemed to be able to handle the results, but the default BSS
table limit (200) inside wpa_supplicant will likely end up dropping
needed information. I made this limit now configurable
(bss_max_count=<limit>) which should allow wpa_supplicant to be used
even with huge number of APs in the scan results (assuming you don't
care about memory use).
As an optional mechanism, I also added a configuration item for
filtering scan results to only include the BSSes that have an SSID
matching with one of the configured networks. This can be enabled with
filter_ssids=1 in wpa_supplicant.conf.
Both of these alternatives seemed to be able to complete association
with -Dnl80211 in a test with 2000 APs. The changes are available in
the development tree (0.7.x) git repository.
