Hi,

mrv8k has commands that should be sent before a scan is started, and
after a scan has finished.  There aren't really pre/post scan hooks in
mac80211, though there certainly could be without too much trouble.  The
other possibility is to inspect the filter flags when
ops->configure_filter gets called, since FIF_BCN_PRBRESP_PROMISC gets
flipped before and after the scan.  But that seems ugly and unstable.

Any objections to adding ops->pre_scan and ops->post_scan hooks?  Or
should I just use the configure_filter hack...  or is there a better
way?

Dan
