Re: [PATCH AUTOSEL 5.17 079/149] iwlwifi: mvm: Passively scan non PSC channels only when requested so

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

 



I had to revert this patch in my 5.17+ kernel (with 5.18-ish iwlwifi patches backported)
to get the station to properly scan and connect to a vendor's AP.

I got zero response to my earlier email about that regression.

I think this is not something that should be added to stable builds at this time.

Thanks,
Ben

[ Upstream commit 9966904e9472703a05861f343157cd78f47514fd ]

Non PSC channels should generally be scanned based on information about
collocated APs obtained during scan on legacy bands, and otherwise
should not be scanned unless specifically requested so (as there are
relatively many non PSC channels, scanning them passively is time consuming
and interferes with regular data traffic).

Thus, modify the scan logic to avoid passively scanning PSC channels
if there is no information about collocated APs and the scan is not
a passive scan.
