question about cfg80211_inform_bss()

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

 



Hi !

I did implement the cfg80211 scan command in libertas. Now I'm 
about to submit the results back to cfg80211. AFAIK I have to 
use cfg80211_inform_bss() for this.

There's just one subtle problem here:

I tell the firmware of libertas card to scan on some channels, 
e.g. on 4 channels at a time. The firmware does this, and then 
sends me back a scan response. This scan response may contain 
any number of APs, from different channels. I don't know which 
BSS entry belongs to which channel --- unless I parse the 
also-supplied IE.

However, cfg80211_inform_bss() want's a channel. And it wants the 
IEs as well. A presume it scans those IEs, too. So do we need to 
parse the IEs twice?
