Hi, I was just playing around with the mac80211 scan-code and stumbled across IEEE80211_PROBE_DELAY. I'm a bit curious why this delay is needed due to the fact that any driver can set the channel_change_time to any value it needs. Therefore I simply removed the IEEE80211_PROBE_DELAY (see below) and only used the channel_change_time exposed by the driver. I did some tests with the iwl4965 and ath5k (reports AR5213A as chipset) driver and did not notice any regression. Could somebody explain to me if the IEEE80211_PROBE_DELAY is needed anymore and for which particular reason?
