IMHO, completly automaited association is security issue. at leas essid or
bssid should be set. NM renew the AP list, so it should not be done by driver
in background. Association do not needet in monitor mode see driver:
if (priv->ieee->iw_mode == IW_MODE_MONITOR) {
IPW_DEBUG_ASSOC("Not attempting association (monitor
mode)\n");
return 0;
}
May be for adhoc mode... but essid is needed. And we use by defaul managed
mode. So may bi it is ok jus to do:
if (priv->ieee->iw_mode == IW_MODE_MANAGED){
IPW_DEBUG_ASSOC("Not attempting association (managed
mode)\n");
return 0;
}
