Are you using 64-bit wireless-tools and a 64-bit > kernel, or 32-bit wireless tools with a 64-bit kernel? I'm using 64-bit kernel with 64-bit userspace. If I use 32-bit kernel with 32-bit userspace, essid filtering works, but only to a degree. Old scan results are cached somewhere, so if I scan with essid and then without essid, I get filtered results. Likewise, If I don't use filtering the first time, but use it the second time, I get unfiltered results. I cannot imagine how this bug could have evaded even most basic testing. I would prefer that we don't merge unreliable functionality. It's not needed for WPA support. And it don't look like and improvement in its present form. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin
