[PATCH v3] mac80211: do not actively scan DFS channels

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

 



DFS channels should not be actively scanned as we can't be sure
if we are allowed or not.

If the current channel is in the DFS band, active scan might be
performed after CSA, but we have no guarantee about other channels,
therefore it is safer to prevent active scanning at all.
