From 2a5193119269062608582418deba7af82844159a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Tue, 10 Feb 2009 21:25:55 +0100 Subject: cfg80211/nl80211: scanning (and mac80211 update to use it) This patch adds basic scan capability to cfg80211/nl80211 and changes mac80211 to use it. The BSS list that cfg80211 maintains is made driver-accessible with a private area in each BSS struct, but mac80211 doesn't yet use it. That's another large project.
