The only thing I can come up with is that 20 was the next round number that is larger than IEEE80211_SCAN_INTERVAL_SLOW defined on the previous line.. ;-) Anyway, I don't see why we would need to wait that long. It should be enough to wait for a full scan of all channels to be completed. It is of course nicer to avoid creating a new IBSS if there is an existing one, but as long as merging works, it should be fine to reduce this timeout. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
