with the net.lo script i can't find my acess point despite of having the corect configuration in /etc/conf.d/net but wifi-radar and RaConfig2500 can find it... why? simply because wifi-radar does multiple scan and net.lo only scan once(checked with rt2x00 with debuging indo in dmesg...by the way i use rt2500 not rt2x00)
At most I can make this a configuration variable scans_ra0="5" # Do 5 scans And it will default to 1. Would this be acceptable? Note, this is still not a guarantee of the AP being found.
that is great another option would be to scan until it find the acess point

(In reply to comment #2) > that is great > another option would be to scan until it find the acess point No, that is unacceptable - we must timeout. However, the scanning operating takes a while (varies from hw to hw, but is normally 1-2 seconds at least) and there's nothing to stop you from doing scans_eth0="999999" which is kinda like infinite :)

This should be fixed in baselayout-1.13.0_alpha11. Re-open if you disagree. We always do 2 scans by default, so you may not need to use any extra config options.
