Subject: Re: [PATCH v3 2/4] scan: Add a configuration option to disable 6GHz
collocated scanning

It would be nice if you could add the example config option to
wpa_supplicant.conf with appropriate comments about acceptable values
and what it means.
Otherwise, a user has to get lucky reading code to even know the option is
available.
Updated the patch set.
Also, even if this fixes the ax210 5.18 patch that causes the regression (and I
have not yet had time to test this), then you should probably revert that
ax210 patch so that it works with older supplicants? It often takes a long time
to get supplicant updated in standard OS distributions.
I'll consider it. The main problem reverting this logic is that scans might take very
long time (up to 30 seconds in some cases) do to passively scanning all the non PSC
channels.
It takes way longer than that when it doesn't work at all.
Maybe toggle between the two modes if user space does not provide guidance (try fast way first, then slow if
fast didn't find anything), and have the supplicant send down explicit request for each behaviour so that in the
driver you know if supplicant is up to date or not?
Thanks,
Ben
