Well, the scan_capa doesn't really say "we can/cannot scan", it refers to advanced features wrt scanning which a driver should have nowadays. Usually scan_capa = 0 indicates that the driver is either old or is in bad shape. Drivers that use the new in-kernel mac stack all should have scan_capa > 0, fwiw. Anyway, even with scan_capa=0x0 basic scanning is done by NM itself, but it definitly shows that the driver isn't on top of the latest and greatest - which probably is the reason why this doesnt really work. - Alexander -- PS3: NetworkManager doesn't list available wireless networks even though "iwlist wlan0 scan" does https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/289977 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
