[PATCH 01/23] iwlwifi: mvm: several fixes in scan

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

 



From: Alexander Bondar <alexander.bondar@xxxxxxxxx>

The firmware doesn't handle properly the fragmented scan.
Stop using it.
While at it change max_out_time and suspend_time units from
usec to TUs as expected by firmware API.
