[PATCH] mwifiex: send fewer channels to scan while connected

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

 



Application triggers periodic background scans when device is connected.
We will scan less number of channels per scan command so that data
traffic won't get affected.
