[PATCH] cfg80211: increse bss expire time

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

 



The background scan completion takes more time when the station is
having heavy uplink traffic. The scan state machine decides to fall
back to home channel on every off-channel visit when there are pending
frames in tx queue. bgscan completion took ~30sec on dual band US
regulatory card.

scan period = (20 active channels * probe timeout) +
              (12 passive channels * passive probe timeout) +
              (32 * timeout on home channel) +
              (32 * flush timeout)
