libertas driver carrier of signaling

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

 



Hi guys,

I was looking at the libertas driver and found that piece of code, at scan.c:

/* We want to scan all channels */
	chan_count = lbs_scan_create_channel_list(priv, chan_list);

	netif_stop_queue(priv->dev);
	netif_carrier_off(priv->dev);

So, why do we need to turn carrier off when scanning? I could barely see why
we'd want to stop the netdev tx queue, but is turning carrier off really
needed ?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

Cheers,
Samuel.
