[PATCH] nl80211: bounce scan request back to userspace

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

 



When a scan finishes only the program that asked for it
knows what kind of scan it was; let's tell everybody else
about the scan parameters as well so they can evaluate
the result of the scan better. Also helps with debugging.
