From 142b9f5074dc0d09dc0025739ad437723d7bf527 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Helmut Schaa Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2009 13:18:01 +0200 Subject: mac80211: implement basic background scanning Introduce a new scan flag "SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL" which basically tells us that we are currently on a different channel for scanning and cannot RX/TX. "SCAN_SW_SCANNING" tells us that we are currently running a software scan but we might as well be on the operating channel to RX/TX. While "SCAN_SW_SCANNING" is set during the whole scan "SCAN_OFF_CHANNEL" is set when leaving the operating channel and unset when coming back. Introduce two new scan states "SCAN_LEAVE_OPER_CHANNEL" and "SCAN_ENTER_OPER_CHANNEL" which basically implement the functionality we need to leave the operating channel (send a nullfunc to the AP and stop the queues) and enter it again (send a nullfunc to the AP and start the queues again). Enhance the scan state "SCAN_DECISION" to switch back to the operating channel after each scanned channel. In the future it sould be simple to enhance the decision state to scan as much channels in a row as the qos latency allows us. Signed-off-by: Helmut Schaa Signed-off-by: John W.
