It allows you to diable ssid broadcasting and to disable clients with a bla= nk ssid. The problem is that the firmware for the prism2 cards needed for this patch= to work, is not supported by 5.0. Therefor I started working on 5.1 and because wicontrol is obsolete I start= ed working on ifconfig, but I got lost in the forest of ifconfig and net8= 0211. So, do I need to put this in ifconfig, eventhough this patch is not 80211 s= pecific? Is the net80211 in combination with ifconfig documented? Roland van Laar Volunteer WirelessLeiden.nl
