Right; the _one_ place anyone should ever have to check for unassociated status is SIOCGIWAP. That's it. Lets not put stuff in two different places. If it's all 0s, all 4s (stupid prism) or all Fs (i forget who does that), it's invalid and you're not connected. About the worst thing we can start doing is having to parse arbitrary strings to find out driver/card status. That's the same problem with "<hidden>" which hope DIES DIES DIES with d80211. If the AP is hidden, then it has a _blank_ SSID, not hacked to "<hidden>". For radio off, that may be a legitimate thing that's not covered in WE yet. But isn't that the domain of SIOCGIWPOWER, or is that just used to set PM modes and not return current status?
