[RFC 2/5] ath9k: Fix Notice of Absence issues

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

 



From: Sujith Manoharan <c_manoha@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

* The index has to incremented only when advertising
  a new NoA schedule.

* Switch to non-periodic NoA when starting a scan operation
  and multiple channel contexts are active.

* Make sure that periodic NoA is advertised again when
  scan ends. Since the offchannel timer moves the offchannel
  state to IDLE after the GO operating channel becomes
  active, use a flag "force_noa_update" to update the
  NoA contents.
