[PATCH] mac80211: Do not restart scheduled scan if multiple scan plans are set

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

 



From: Avraham Stern <avraham.stern@xxxxxxxxx>

If multiple scan plans were set for scheduled scan, do not restart
scheduled scan on reconfig because it is possible that some scan
plans were already completed and there is no need to run them all
over again. Instead, notify userspace that scheduled scan stopped
so it can configure new scan plans for scheduled scan.
