Patch one. Remove 3 second delay in returning scan results. This delay appears to be unnecessary. Users of NetworkManager have found that this delay makes NetworkManager slow to connect in certain scenarios. Testing has shown no ill effect of removing this delay. This delay does not appear in other drivers such as ipw2200/ieee80211 --- airo.c_orig 2005-10-28 20:06:40.000000000 -0400 +++ airo.c 2005-10-28 20:08:16.000000000 -0400 @@ -6918,7 +6918,7 @@ /* When we are associated again, the scan has surely finished. * Just in case, let's make sure enough time has elapsed since * we started the scan. - Javier */ - if(ai->scan_timestamp && time_before(jiffies,ai->scan_timestamp+3*HZ)) { + if(ai->scan_timestamp && time_before(jiffies,ai->scan_timestamp)) { /* Important note : we don't want to block the caller * until results are ready for various reasons. * First, managing wait queues is complex and racy Patch two.
