[wpan-next v2 27/27] net: ieee802154: ca8210: Refuse most of the scan operations

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

 



The Cascada 8210 hardware transceiver is kind of a hardMAC which
interfaces with the softMAC and in practice does not support sending
anything else than dataframes. This means we cannot send any BEACON_REQ
during active scans nor any BEACON in general. Refuse these operations
officially so that the user is aware of the limitation.
