[PATCH v2] mac80211: split out and decrease probe wait time

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

 



The time we wait for a probe response after probing an AP due to
beacon loss is currently the same as the monitoring interval, 2s.
This is far too long, APs should respond to probes within a
fraction of that time. To be able to adjust both values, add a
new constant IEEE80211_PROBE_WAIT, use it for checking the probe
response, and adjust it down to 200ms instead of 2 seconds.

Oops, replaced one too many, although we probably should make that bit
smarter too.
