Hmm, I'd prefer to keep the decision state as entry and exit point to
the scan state machine. The patch below should also fix this issue
by returning back to the decision state after every skipped channel.
In the long run I would like to move the channel selection also to
the decision state in order to implement various improvements (like
scanning multiple channels in a row or reordering the channel list).
I was in the meantime able to reproduce the oops by setting an other
regulatory domain. Pavel, Larry, does this patch help you as well?
Thanks,
Helmut
