I think there are two choices: 1) do what you say, and send the whole BSS info in the event 2) send a per-channel "scanned this channel" event, and allow filtering the BSS dump per channel There are a few trade-offs here: advantages of 1: + info is directly available + very fine-grained disadvantages of 1: - lots of context switches, fairly expensive advantages of 2: + adds more generic filtering capability + fewer context switches since retrieving BSS dump is limited & only needs very few messages disadvantages of 2: - not quite as fine-grained Personally, I prefer 2 because of the context switches issue, and because I think there's little point in having so fine-grained information. But I'm willing to concede that there may be a point in it, more easily if you could explain why that's useful :-) johannes -- 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
