Subject: [PATCH] introduce WEXT scan capabilities
Date: Fri, 07 Dec 2007 19:22:46 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1197073366.4563.15.camel@localhost.localdomain> (raw)

Introduce scan capabilities to WEXT so that userspace can do intelligent
things with scan behavior, partly in an attempt to handle hidden SSIDs
more gracefully.  If the driver reports a specific scan capability, the
driver must respect the options specified in the iw_scan_req structure
when handling the SIOCSIWSCAN call, unless it's mode or state does not
allow it to do so, in which case it must return an error.
