Subject: [PATCH 2/2] wifi: mt76: support upgrading passive scans to active
Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2025 11:27:23 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251118102723.47997-2-nbd@nbd.name> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251118102723.47997-1-nbd@nbd.name>
From: Chad Monroe <chad@monroe.io>
On channels with NO_IR or RADAR flags, wait for beacon before sending
probe requests. Allows active scanning and WPS on restricted channels
if another AP is already present.
Fixes: c56d6edebc1f ("wifi: mt76: mt7996: use emulated hardware scan support")
