In section 29.3.3.1.1 it has one run the command 'ifconfig ath0 up scan' but this will not work without the kernel module wlan_scan_sta.ko loaded. Also in section 29.3.3.1.3.1 the same module is needed to run the 'wpa_supplicant -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' command. This is similar to PR docs/120456 but that relates to adding this information to the ath man page. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
