This sounds completely wrong. Do you guys remember the Subject: string of this discussion by any chance? It's very likely that tools do indeed loop when they see EAGAIN, but this is a workaround, not the main mode of operation. It seems obvious to me that the get method should wait until the scan results are available. Perhaps the discussion had a specific scenario where EAGAIN would make sense, but I cannot imagine what it might be. -- Pete - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
