I recently had to change from wpa_supplicant to iwd to get around the 200 access point search limit.
It would be nice to have fewer than 200 access points in range..

The query for anyone else who has that app and is curious:
> .he on
> select reportId, count(id) as c from WifiAccessPointEntity group by reportId order by c desc limit 10;
reportId|c
123|227
> select * from PositionEntity where reportId = 123; -- find where this was
Are you sure it's a wpa_supplicant limitation? It sounds like a very arbitrary number, not even 2^8=256 or something, so like it should be trivial to find and chance that constant limit in the source code, if this limit existsEdit: a quick grep through the source code (`grep -rE '[^0-9]200[^0-9]'`) doesn't reveal anything that looks very promising at first glance. I'm curious what you're running into now though
If it's just a configuration variable though, why bother migrating away instead of configuring it? Or even opening a ticket upstream that the 200 APs limit is causing issues if you would want to go that far. Ditching the software altogether seems radical
