Subject: [RFC/RFT 0/5] mac80211: implement background scan
Date: Thu, 16 Jul 2009 11:04:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <200907161104.41975.helmut.schaa@gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

this patch series implements basic background scanning in mac80211
by interrupting the scan after each scanned channel to allow RX/TX.

I only tested the patches on current wireless-testing with iwlagn
in sw-scan mode and it works fine already. One thing I noticed but
seems to be unrelated is: in sw-scan mode the connection sometimes
stalls and no data is transferred anymore although the connection is
still available and I found no way to recover it without setting
it up again.

So, it would be great if somebody could test the patches on other
hardware as well.

Thanks a lot,
Helmut
