Some countries disallow passive scanning outright, and that's something the card should know as well. The power limits are also different. Still, I think we could have a minimal managed mode, in which the station doesn't transmit anything except when it detects an AP on that frequency, and even then, the station would follow the strictest txpower limitations. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin _______________________________________________ wireless mailing list wireless@lists.tuxdriver.org http://lists.tuxdriver.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
