question about channel switching delay

[hong zhang]

Yan,

In managed mode (sta), if you assign a SSID name to
driver, driver will try to associate an AP with the
SSID name. If you only want to change SSID name and
mode(a/b/g), you should do it in manager mode then sta
will
match what AP has when sta associates to the AP.
