[PATCH 7/7] mac80211: Ensure power-level set properly for scanning.

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

 



From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

My previous patch to optimize scanning on operating channel
accidentally removed the code that would ensure power was
set to maximum for scanning.

This patch re-adds that functionality.
