I have question for wireless tools(ap scanning) (Jesus Molina)

[seung_ick Noh]

I have two wireless lan cark.
they ard aironet cisco 340, 350 series.
I know aironet cisco 340 series card can operate ap scanning and signal level.
And in my note book, scanning and signal level check were good.
And then I compare airo.c, airo_cs.c (in genernal kernal 2.4.20) with airo.c airo_cs.c(in pda kernel 2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh13)
they are not different.
only pda kernel 2.4.19-rmk6-pxa1-hh13 has more imformation for above extension 15

I don't know why happen problem in only iPAQ.
some guy reply ..
[Bug in the driver. I've seen this reported for the airo.c
driver on desktop as well...]

what do you think about that?
