[PATCH] supplicant: Allow simple bgscan to do btm queries.

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Allow doing X bss_transition_mgmt_query calls before falling back to
scan.

Example format to do 4 btm before attempting a scan: bgscan="simple:30:-65:300:4"
