Description Gene Imes 2008-05-08 19:35:46 UTC

I have several linksys routers which run dd-wrt with wds enabled. Only the main route is full speed the others are half speed. This is a characteristic of wds. When I range I would always like to connect to the main router as it is faster.

Now iwconfig sorts by numerical order and connects to the first. It would be better to connect to the fastest than the first.

My request to be able to enable to connect on the basis of speed.

Thanks,

Gene

Reproducible: Always
