I think you mean ieee80211_work, not work-queue.

Since my previous attempts at optimizing this code for scanning&  off-channel
work didn't stick, I thought I might attempt to convert the scan logic
to the work-queue, with hopes of then being able to make another attempt
at optimizing things for multiple interfaces&  potentially off-channel work
items.

Before I start though, I'm hoping for some guidance on how you'd
want this implemented.  Or, if you think there are other changes
that should go in first, I'll wait...

In any case, yes, please don't work on this now. I need to rework auth&
assoc handling completely, and get rid of the work items for that etc.
That will probably mean a large rewrite of the work item logic, possibly
even removing most of that code.

Ok, I'll wait to see how that turns out.

Thanks,
Ben
