[RFC 2/3] mac80211: add support for scan chan_time parameter

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

 



This allows mac80211-based drivers that support
hw_scan() to get chan_time paremter.

This also makes mac80211-based drivers that don't
support hw_scan() to respect the chan_time
parameter.

The effective minimum channel time for swscan
drivers is the probe delay. hw_scan drivers may
have their own limits.
