Re: Ignore scan results in AP mode

And now I see SCAN_INTERVAL is not correct. Sorry, just becoming familiar with this. Looking at driver_nl80211_scan.c  now.

    Apologies for yet another reply. I reread your original response and think this might be very helpful, as I already have a separate interface that I believe I could use for what you describe. I guess you are suggesting I initiate a SCAN on that interface before establishing the AP on the other interface. Correct? Does SCAN_INTERVAL affect how long that scan is?

        A device operating as an AP is expected to remain available on its
        operating channel constantly, so it is a bit difficult to avoid
        interference to other operations if any such operation would require
        operation on another channel. Anyway, as far as the referenced events.c
        implementation is concerned, the way to allow other operations to be
        performed would require running a separate virtual interface for the AP
        mode operations and then leave another interface for other operations.
