Scanning improvements for multiple VIFS.

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

 



When I am using lots of virtual stations, each of them will attempt
to scan when started.  Most of them get EBUSY
until finally everyone is associated.  This can take a long time.

I was considering trying something a bit different.

In nl80211_trigger_scan, if rdev->scan_req is != NULL,
instead of returning EBUSY, what if we set a flag in
the VIF that said "I want scan results too."

Then, when whatever is scanning is finished, it would send
scan results to all interested vifs.

Does that sound like something that could work?

Thanks,
Ben
