[PATCH 19/21] iwlwifi: don't check monitor for scanning

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

Monitor mode operation need not (and probably should
not) affect scanning this way since real monitoring
can not properly happen while scanning anyway.
