Subject: mac80211: improve IBSS scanning
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=be4a4b6a5d2f76393f545a2545fbaa1b65577e13;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

mac80211: improve IBSS scanning

When IBSS is fixed to a frequency, it can still
scan to try to find the right BSSID. This makes
sense if the BSSID isn't also fixed, but it need
not scan all channels -- just one is sufficient.
Make it do that by moving the scan setup code to
ieee80211_request_internal_scan() and include
a channel variable setting.

Note that this can be further improved to start
the IBSS right away if both frequency and BSSID
are fixed.
