This is due to channel overlap. To avoid getting very strange failures, don't show such APs in the scan results. The failure mode will now go from "I can see the AP but not associate" to "I can't see the AP although I know it's there" which is easier to debug. This problem was first really noticed by Jes Sorensen. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg Cc: Jes Sorensen Signed-off-by: John W.
