Subject: Scanning all 5Ghz channels with AC NIC.
Date: Mon, 24 Mar 2014 11:10:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <53307524.8070501@candelatech.com> (raw)
I notice this issue while trying to scan specific channels with
an ath10k NIC.
If I configure supplicant to use a specific freq list, it will fail:
1395683887.458813: nl80211: Scan frequency 5170 MHz
1395683887.458823: nl80211: Scan frequency 5180 MHz

1395683887.459005: nl80211: Scan frequency 5825 MHz
1395683887.459040: nl80211: Scan trigger failed: ret=-22 (Invalid argument)
A standard scan seems to use only a subset of these channels.
But, wouldn't that make us miss scanning for some /a or /n APs
out there?
[root@ct521-FCFC ~]# iw event
wlan0 (phy #1): scan started
wlan0 (phy #1): scan finished: 2412 2417 2422 2427 2432 2437 2442 2447 2452 2457 2462 5180 5200 5220 5240 5260 5280 5300 5320 5745 5765 5785 5805 5825, ""
Any idea if this is a bug in my config/assumptions, ath10k, or supplicant?
Thanks,
Ben
