What is Auto Profile Selection and is it supported?
A profile is a set of parameters that define the manner in which a client associates to a wireless LAN infrastructure. A profile contains information including the System Set Identifier (SSID or the “name” of the wireless LAN infrastructure) means of data encryption, authentication type, security credentials, etc. A client device that operates with more than one wireless LAN infrastructure (perhaps in different buildings) will tend to have more than one profile set up on the device. Auto Profile Selection is a means whereby a client device will automatically scan the infrastructure for an SSID that matches an SSID found in a profile and then enables that profile on the device for association to that infrastructure without user intervention. As of Summit software version 1.3 Auto Profile Selection is not supported. Support for this capability is planned for a release in the first half of 2008.
