This seems very odd. Why would one vif be off-channel, and the other be
on-channel? That makes no sense, off-channel is a global state.

Should mac80211 care if the device does channel-hopping? What if it's possible for off-channel to be done simultaneously because the device has two radios?

Maybe off-channel should also be reworked more to support multiple scenarios?


My thinking here right now is that mac80211-based off-channel and
scanning will only be supported for devices that don't implement
multi-channel, since all others really need to do the channel scheduling
themselves.

Software off-channel isn't used only for scanning, or is it?
