[PATCH] wl12xx: fix forced passive scans

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

 



We were using incorrect max and min dwell times during forced passive
scans because we were still using the active scan states to scan
(passively) the channels that were not marked as passive.

Instead of doing passive scans in active states, we now skip active
states and scan for all channels in passive states.

This replaces Shahar Levi's "Set the correct min&max dwell time
setting on passive scan".

Also thanks to Yoni Divinsky who also proposed a similar fix.
