Re: NM HEAD 1.721 AP_SCAN patched.]

[Bill Moss <bmoss CLEMSON EDU>]

Yesterday, I built 1.710 which did not use the bogus AP_SCAN ctrl
command and it worked fine. Today, I build 1.721 and the bug log showed
the following because the invalid AP_SCAN ctrl command had been added to
the NM code.

Jan 9 12:45:43 localhost NetworkManager: <information> SUP: sending
command 'INTERFACE_ADD eth1 wext /var/run/wpa_supplicant '
Jan 9 12:45:43 localhost NetworkManager: <information> SUP: response
was 'OK'
Jan 9 12:45:43 localhost NetworkManager: <information> SUP: sending
command 'AP_SCAN 2'
Jan 9 12:45:43 localhost NetworkManager: <information> SUP: response
was 'UNKNOWN COMMAND'

ap_scan=2 is a valid ctrl parameter setting from a wpa_supplicant.conf
file but 'AP_SCAN 2' is not a valid ctrl command for use with the
wpa_supplicant control interface which is laid out in ctrl_iface.c.

The solution is to delete the use of AP_SCAN and to compile in the
desired default behaviour ap_scan=2. This will work for now.
