[PATCH for-4.14 2/2] brcmfmac: setup passive scan if requested by user-space

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

 



The driver was not properly configuring firmware with regard to the
type of scan. It always performed an active scan even when user-space
was requesting for passive scan, ie. the scan request was done without
any SSIDs specified.
