Hi everybody!

Do you know if it is possible to find out, from the AP side, the candidate APs that a station can reach? Maybe in the capabilities field?

The problem I have is that I cannot kick a station (from an AP) if I do not previously know if this station will be able to reassociate with another AP in the ESS. Of course, it is possible to do it but in my case I "need" to be sure that the station will be able to reassociate with another AP before rejecting it.

Anyone have an idea about how to implement this with Prism2 driver? Any comment or suggestion will be appreciated!

Thanks,
