[PATCH v2] mac80211: choose first enabled channel for monitor

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

 



Though the first channel from sband channel list is invalid
or disabled still mac80211 is choosing this disabled channel
as a default channel for monitor interface. This will end-up
in choosing wrong channel.

Fixed by assigning the first available valid or enabled channel
to the respective radios.
