[PATCH 1/3] {nl,cfg}80211: add a flags word to scan requests

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

 



Add a flags word to direct and scheduled scan requests; it will be used
for control of optional behaviours such as flushing the bss cache prior
to doing a scan.
