Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: add pre- and post-scan hooks
Date: Sun, 22 Jun 2008 11:43:21 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1214149401.8585.2.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

mrv8k has commands that get called before and after the scan has been
done to save and restore hardware state.  Add optional callbacks to
mac80211 to enable low-level drivers to know when the stack is about to
start scanning, and when it's done.

Signed-off-by: Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com>
