Yeah, mac80211 only supports this with sw_scan but ath10k uses hw_scan. >From ieee80211_alloc_hw(): if (!ops->hw_scan) wiphy->features |= NL80211_FEATURE_LOW_PRIORITY_SCAN | NL80211_FEATURE_AP_SCAN; > Are there any plans to implement this feature?

Does anyone know how much work would it be to change mac80211 to support this with hw_scan? -- Kalle Valo _______________________________________________ ath10k mailing list ath10k@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/ath10k
