Subject: [patch 14/16] ipw2100: send WEXT scan events
Date: Wed, 14 Nov 2007 22:41:16 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071115064116.GO18951@kroah.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20071115063921.GA18827@kroah.com>
-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------
From: Dan Williams <dcbw@redhat.com>
patch d20c678a450a25c1c12925f60c1b4cc040acc17d in mainline
ipw2100 wasn't sending WEXT scan events at all on scan completion. And
like ipw2200, the driver aggressively auto-scans, requiring
non-user-requested scan events to be batched together and sent at
specific intervals instead of many times per seconds.
