[PATCH 3/4] wl12xx: use split scan for normal scan

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

 



From: Eyal Shapira <eyal@xxxxxxxxxx>

Split scan allows the FW to schedule other activities
during a scan which may be a long operation. This is
achieved by setting a trigger TID to ANY_TID and a scan
trigger timeout other than 0. The default one is set to 50ms.
