Package: iw
Version: 5.0.1-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
* What are you trying to do?
I'm trying to scan networks in a place where two cells on 2.4Ghz and 5Gz have
the same SSID.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The scan returns only one cell (not the one with double frequency, a third
one), and subsequent scan return nothing. It seems that the scan itself somehow
crashes.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
The scan would return all cells.
* What's a potential explanation?
Somewhere in the stack, there is a confusion regarding having the same SSID in
both the 2.4Ghz and 5Gz frequency range.
Best regards,
--Martin

There was no further update, and I didn't find any bug report from
Martin at bugzilla.kernel.org. So I don't think there is any point
keeping this report open.
Feel free to reopen if this bug can still be reproduced in a supported
Debian version, but please:
- Also test with a current kernel and firmware versions (and say exactly
which versions those are)
- Say which driver and device is being used (information from
"lspci -vnn" or "lsusb -v")
