[PATCH] orinoco: always use latest BSS info when caching scan results

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

 



Always copy the latest BSS information from the firmware's results to
the driver's BSS table to ensure that everything is up-to-date (IEs,
supported rates, encryption status, etc).
