Package: wpasupplicant Version: 0.6.10-2.1 Severity: wishlist
Dear Debian developpers, I am using wpa supplicant in roaming mode. I was looking for a way to specify which access point to use when multiple access points are available. It is possible to specify it by using the 'priority' option inside wpa_supplicant.conf. However that option is never clearly documented. The only place the information is hinted at is in /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes.gz where one can read: > Fine Tuning the Roaming Setup > ============================= > > You may face situations where multiple known access points are in close > proximity. You can choose which one is preferred manually, with wpa_cli or > wpa_gui, or you can give each network its own priority. This is provided by > the > 'priority' option of wpa_supplicant.conf. I am not sure if priorities only works in roaming mode, but I believe this option should always work. It should be clearly documented within the man page of wpa_supplicant.conf and/or an example of the feature should be included in the list of examples.
