This driver does not advertise this feature yet scanning with on an AP interface appears to work just fine. --- drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) I've submitted this patch mainly to start a discussion about it. I find it hard to believe that ALL brcmfmac devices support AP scanning in which case this feature needs to be limited to those devices only. Trouble is there is no FW feature for AP scanning AFAIK. In any case I think this driver needs to sort out if it supports this feature or not, and advertise as such rather than leaving userspace in the dark. diff --git a/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c b/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c index fb727778312c..b6a50e65dbf6 100644 --- a/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c +++ b/drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/cfg80211.c @@ -7729,6 +7729,8 @@ struct brcmf_cfg80211_info *brcmf_cfg80211_attach(struct brcmf_pub *drvr, #endif } + wiphy->features |= NL80211_FEATURE_AP_SCAN; + return cfg; detach: -- 2.34.1
