[PATCH v2 2/3] Add network specific AP black- & whitelists

Stefan Tomanek stefan.tomanek
Mon Jan 5 12:08:49 PST 2015


This change adds the configuration options "bssid_whitelist" and
"bssid_blacklist" sued to limit the AP selection of a network to a specified
(finite) set or discard certain APs.

This can be useful for environments where multiple networks operate using the
same ESSID and roaming between those is not desired.

It is also useful to ignore a faulty or otherwise unwanted AP.
