For P2P use cases, it would be convenient to maintain some information about what could be the best channel on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band all the time. This does not have to be the best possible channel, but something reasonably good. There is no time to go through additional scanning of all channels in number of P2P protocol exchanges, so this type of information is needed before starting GO Negotiation (which could be started by other devices, too). It is possible to change channels later if a considerably better alternative becomes known after the group has been started. -- Jouni Malinen PGP id EFC895FA -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
