Argument list too long #1

Closed oleks closed 6 years ago

oleks commented 8 years ago

Sometimes, seemingly in the presence of too many access points, this configuration fails.

This bug has been experienced at:

Mathematics Library at the University of Copenhagen
EMU Center at the University of Oregon.
Nasjonalbiblioteket, Oslo, Norway

One option is to set ap_scan=2 to disable scanning, and connect to eduroam directly, but for some reason, while this fixed the "Argument list too long" issue, I could not log in subsequently.

The other option is simply to use something other than wext, as the error seems to be caused by a limitation of the Wireless-Extensions API - it simply can't handle too many access points at once. The most generic option is to use the newer nl80211 driver.
