16:09 <linville> if anything, I think a driver should have to be down before changing mode (the way mac80211-based drivers require it) 16:09 <linville> I'd be curious to know which ones need to be up I really don't care, I just am NOT going to hardcode 'do X for driver A, Y for driver B'. See bug 228253. Bill: maybe set mode, then link up, and then set essid? Ping on this. Comment 3 sounds sane. FWIW, I would consider any driver that requires ifup before changing the mode to be a bug. OTOH, nearly every wireless bug I have mentions the 'Error for wireless request "Set Mode" (8B06)' message... Created attachment 219791 [details]
