Description Dan Olson 2008-03-09 20:30:02 UTC 
While reading and trying out the Handbook section 29.3, Wireless Networking, I found that a kernel module is missing.

In section 29.3.3.1.1 it has one run the command 'ifconfig ath0 up scan'  but this will not work without the kernel module wlan_scan_sta.ko loaded.

Also in section 29.3.3.1.3.1 the same module is needed to run the 'wpa_supplicant -i ath0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf' command.

This is similar to PR docs/120456 but that relates to adding this information to the ath man page.
