I was under the impression that the auth mechanism setting would still do that. What is "mixed cell configuration" anyway? > No, but iwpriv.. See the pattern here.. ;-) Oh, I can see that, but none of these things are documented nor do any existing tools use them. I don't contend the fact that these may indeed be useful, but I think none of them should be private ioctls. If you have a use case for all of these I'd be happy to see an explanation so we can add this with proper documentation elsewhere. Without documentation, they are a rather useless special configurations nobody will ever touch. johannes --=-WbQsUEViikVrv0Gff7bJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: Johannes Berg (powerbook) iD8DBQBGyVu9/ETPhpq3jKURAhfTAJ9kPDhiQCBB6X4Lt+oC48Og29dJ/QCfceW4 FlWcvR+dLUaWw168Yq3qVXk= =AaRb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-WbQsUEViikVrv0Gff7bJ--
