Don't get me wrong -- I don't really mind doing it in cfg80211, just wanted to see why, but if it really _requires_ a scan then that's fine. Maybe in cfg80211 makes more sense, might simplify other drivers too, or allow us to convert some of the other drivers that might not have such functionality. Since your patch creates a directed scan, it should be pretty quick just scanning one channel, and maybe the driver knows the channel? johannes
