Hi,
thanks fo doing the job I was to lazy to do ;-)
But when I wrote the comment in the code, I was to lazy to check how it would behave in other modes than managed. Does it makes sense in other modes ? Won't it confuse users (eg in ad-hoc mode will all connection be reported (I even don't know exactly how ad-hoc works...)) etc...
Did you check this kind of stuff ?
Anyway I think I'll add this to the driver (with a little change) and wait for user to complain... btw, as nobody seems to watch wireless events, we may never get any complain :-)

	...And justice for all
