What support issues are caused by supporting software scanning?
Whatever issues are caused by scanning with P2P, doesn't mac80211
have to handle them anyway?
Technically, yes, but there are some things it doesn't handle today, and
there are some things in mac80211's scan implementation that
unfortunately make our firmware somewhat unhappy. Also, when we have two
virtual interfaces (for p2p) the firmware can get completely confused by
a software scan, especially when we were operating as a p2p-GO.
Is there a description somewhere of the p2p functionality, modes, etc?
Thanks,
