The <session> is just mentioned as an example. With the ndiswrapper the wifi is working proper and lists the available network (only mine shown), e.g. SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS DV201AM 00:13:d4:7a:16:b1 1 54M -51:-96 100 EP .... The wificonfig tool _assumes_ the output of ifconfig would look like. SSID BSSID CHAN RATE S:N INT CAPS SSID<DV201AM> 00:13:d4:7a:16:b1 1 54M -51:-96 100 EP .... My question is if there are wifi drivers which report the SSID like this, instead of reporting them directly as in my case and if so how the output is formatted in that case. Hope this clarifies my question a bit. Jeroen
