Quick search of SIOCGIWSCAN with Google Code Search (http://www.google.com/codesearch) shows quite large set of uses. Most of them are from various drivers, but at least some (e.g., Xsupplicant, waproamd) are from user space applications. I did not actually verify whether any of these would be affected by the 64/32-bit issue, but I would assume some of the apps are indeed parsing the scan results with internal implementation. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA
