Comment (by anonymous):
dyqith: I'm playing right now with a new scanning prototype: if you if'up
an STA device, the scanner
will only scan one time and stops on the first channel where a ap is
found. Afer this, scanning stops, and the association will be performed.
The rest of the channel will be scanned by background scan, that means the
card goes every x (currently 3) seconds off-channel, scans one other
channel, and returns.
For AP mode, we could use the result from these scans: scanning in AP mode
is currently only performed to search for the channel with the lowest rssi
and performing DFS if a radar is found.
If there is a new scan request during an active scan, the request will be
queued and executed after the scan finishes.
What do you think about such a solution?
